The formal part of the AGM began with the Chairman's report, in which he outlined the last year’s events, including The History of Ramsden, St. George's Day Breakfast, Music Festival and the Christmas Bazaar.  He thanked the Social Secretary, Ann Wellborne, and all those who helped make the events so enjoyable.

The meeting then followed with a presentation of last year's accounts and a report from Audrey Pegrum, the Bookings Secretary.  Audrey announced that we now have a new regular booking, WW (weightwatchers) starting at the beginning of February.

Next on the agenda was the election of officers to the hall management committee.

Clive Jeffree announced that he will be stepping down from the role of Chairman at the end of the year and asked for volunteers to take on the role.
