AGM 2009 Report
What an excellent venue for our AGM! Beer at the right price and plenty of food laid on by the ladies of the club. That and 36 members turning up, could it get any better?
(I say 36 members, but that does include Dave Kavanagh who was getting some practice in at home by falling asleep in his chair making him some hour or so late and Shaun who “just forgot”. Still at least they made it).
My worries for the night were the many positions that had to be filled – some very important ones and others, of a more standard nature. I had previously had two volunteers for the post of Treasurer so felt happy with that, but Secretary, Vice Chairman, Club Captain, Vice Captain and committee members – who would fill those posts?

The Agricultural Hall seemed like home to me, as a recent recruit to Witley Club, so I was not too sure when there were proposals to move elsewhere. Would we find anywhere as local and with such low drink prices?!
Jo and Gordon worked hard to persuade some of us that moving to the new Compton British Legion Hall was the right place to go. It is easy to get to, smart, spacious and friendly. The seating is comfortable and it is quiet (at least until Witley Club get there!). A vast improvement on the noisy crowded Agricultural Hall. Betty is convinced it is further to travel, and I’ve offered to lend her a ball of string to prove Compton is nearer than Guildford, but she will not believe me!

Saturday 14th March
Think David Mair and I were the only ones sober enough to remember how much we enjoyed ourselves at the Dinner and Dance (certainly the Chairman was very tiddly by the end!), so I had better make a few notes about it!
We started out early, but I managed to get lost, and Bernard almost gave up hope when I stopped to ask some locals and was told there are too many shooting lodges at Bisley to determine which we were trying to find! However, we did eventually find the right place, in spite of the cunning plan to get the Chairman lost! The dining hall looked fantastic, thanks to Julie and Jo. The meal and company were excellent, and most were pleased the chairman’s speech was short and Bernard was limited to only one joke!
