Stan and Mally become Life Members but Ladies still not accepted at the Vics.

20/11/2007 by secretary.

At last Thursday’s Annual General Meeting, well attended by 45 members, Stan Evans and Malcolm Johnson were both elected as Life Members of the Club. The voting for Lady members ended in 24 for and 26 against, with 2 abstentions. Out of 67 forms sent out this meant that 15 members did not bother to vote one way or the other which does seem strange to me but there we are. The proposal for a lesser subscription for members under 55 years of age was easily defeated as was the proposal to consider entering a team in the Bebington League, if the Wallasey League became a handicap competition. A Saturday scratch day for club competitions was accepted and the Officers of the club were re-elected en-bloc. Team Captains are to remain as last season and the new Management Committee will consist of the Officers, Team Captains and Robby Franklin, Andy Fergus, Eddie Dodd, John Brandon and Bill Tottey. The Tournament Committee consists of Don Ibbotson, Bill Spraggett and Eric Neal. A few moments silence were observed commemorating the sad loss of Laurie Blackburn during the season. The Treasurer reported a surplus of £291-68 for the year and proposed no increase in subscriptions for 2008 which means they remain  at £17 per member. Two new members, Andy Dawson and Ian Hamilton, were accepted into the club on a unanimous vote and along with Harold Rutter and Ted Lawrence, who were both accepted at the October Management Committee meeting, we now have a total of 69 playing members.
