ROCKVALE REBOUND T. N.
Annual General Meeting 
5th May, 2012.

In spite of a somewhat depleted complement of members, only fourteen attending, the 31st Annual general Meeting was a successful event.  As has been the case for several years, the meeting was held in the Function Suite at Townend Bowling Club.
The Chairman welcomed everybody and apologised for having, inadvertently, not taken into consideration the fact that the date chosen coincided with the May holiday weekend.  As a result, there were as many apologies for absence as there were attendees.
The minutes of the previous A. G. M. had been prepared by Margaret Fitzsimons and were read by Gillian Johnston, and they were suitably adopted.
This was followed by the annual report, again read by Gillian and Sarah Worthey gave an easy to understand account of our financial status and both were adopted.  Pat Simpson attended to the election of the committee during which the co-option of Gillian was confirmed and the rest of the committee, all of whom made themselves eligible for re-election were duly elected and we were delighted that Tracy Liddle also agreed to come on board and we look forward to Tracy’s participation, having no doubt that she will acquit herself well.

An amendment to the Constitution was proposed in that the appropriate clause pertaining to the timing of the A.G.M. should be changed and it now reads as follows:-
‘The Annual General Meeting of the Rockvale Rebound shall be held in mid May of each year in order to allow sufficient time for all documents pertaining to our financial situation to be adequately auditted’
There was some sprightly discussion after which the Chairman declared the meeting closed and everyone made the best of a superb buffet lunch which was provided by Margaret Coleman.
