Dear HMC members
The Annual General Meeting has been called for Tuesday 19 April, starting at 7:30pm. The venue is Cotswold in St Albans. The minutes of the 2015 AGM have been uploaded to the AGM section of the website and can be viewed by clicking here.
As usual, the AGM will look back at how the club has been running over the last 12 months and HMC members are welcome to put their ideas, comments and questions to the committee and the wider membership. We will also be asking the HMC membership to elect or re-elect the committee. If you want to make a difference to the way the club is run, please consider running for a position. The current committee will be happy to explain what their role is and what it involves.
Having served for five consecutive years on committee, Paul Hearn will be stepping down from the role of Chair. The HMC will be looking for a new Chair. The Chairman looks after the overall interests of the club and provide the general direction for the year ahead. They referee at the committee meetings and make interesting speeches at the Annual Dinner and other events. They are one of the (two required) signatories for club cheques.
The Secretary is responsible for membership, dealings with the BMC, and recording the minutes at committee meetings, AGMs and EGMs. If you are a prospective member then this is the person you want to get in touch with your queries. They are one of the (two required) signatories for club cheques.
The Treasurer looks after the club finances. They are responsible for ensuring the club spends your money wisely, stays solvent, and that all incomes and expenses are recorded, banked and accounted for. They are one of the (two required) signatories for club cheques
The Outdoor Meets Committee member coordinates the outdoor meets programme for the year. They ensure we have a good variety of locations representing the different interests of our club members. They ensure each meet has a coordinator and that attendance and the monies paid are recorded accurately for the Treasurer.
All the best and have a good Easter
