President's Report (January 2004)

By now everyone will be back from their Christmas break, and should be keen to get involved in our upcoming events.

January's club meeting was surprisingly well attended with 43 members and 1 guest, an excellent turn up for this time of year. The new Committee has settled in with their specific jobs and is looking forward to carrying out their ideas for 2004; also we welcome and thank Tanya Walker for taking on the Fund Raiser position, with many thanks to Sue for her efforts in the past 3 years. I see that Tanya will continue with the same enthusiasm, and hopefully the members will continue to support the raffles by purchasing tickets or making donations.

Discussions and proposals regarding the format and location of the next concourse will be held at
February's meeting and I encourage all members to attend and put forward any ideas they may have. Also I need a committee and suggestions for our display at the Hot Rod Show held on the May long weekend.

Many thanks to Jim Anderson for his help and the explanation at the last Club meeting with our Audit report. Jim and Karen attended our last committee meeting, Jim as an advisor to assist us with the issues that the Auditor has raised about preparing the audit and recommendation that the club's financial year end be changed. This special resolution will be held at the February meeting; Jim will be there to answer any questions that members wish to bring forward. More information
