The club’s AGM was held on Tuesday 5 August.

Attendance

The meeting was attended by about 30 members.

General Business

There were no pre-notified resolutions.

Annual Report

The president presented the annual report,

The main content of the report related to

• membership (53 financial members as at the AGM);
• the year’s activities including acknowledgement of the high standard of photography we’d produced, and judging we’d experienced through the year;
• the need to ensure our Exhibition is successful to offset expenses and keep subs down; and
• a farewell and thanks to Kevin Morgan who has retired from the committee after 30 years continuous service in various roles.

The report )which you can download here: WCC Annual REport 2014 ) was received by the meeting.

Accounts

The annual accounts were tabled and received by the meeting.  They showed an operating deficit for the year of $382.90, offset by the value of materials (mat board for purchase by members, and exhibition frames) on hand of $3406.40.

Subscriptions for the coming financial year were reconfirmed as $40 per annum.  $25 per half year for people who first join the club after 1 February.

(PS: Subscriptions are due for renewal now. )
