Business Meeting

Thursday 23rd April
Business Meeting tonight. We have this in the Haling Dene Centre, with a modest showing of members. This is a good but vocal meeting. We discuss the planned changes proposed at National, and also some changes to Members accounts. We constantly strive to ensure that Table is as affordable as possible, and keep a balance of events that are interesting but don’t break the bank. Nights involving more expensive activity such as mud-buggies, go-karting, or microlight flying have to be offset in the programme with quiz nights and pub tours to keep costs for members manageable.So it’s good to discuss these issues, and we had 10 members at the meeting. We vote to accept the structural changes proposed at national level, but against the increases in capitation. Two of our tablers plan to travel to Eastbourne to vote at the AGM on May 8thWe’ve recently given money to fund sailing lessons for pupils at Sherbrook Primary School in Cannock, an all age Special School. Peter visited them, at Gailey Sailing School, and has brought a DVD with him.
