Unfortunately this isn't the details of the AGM - but I'm hoping that someone will be able to post the details (soon?).....

BMMC â€“ AGM NOTICE 2008

Notice is hereby give on the 50th Annual General Meeting of the British Motorsport Marshals Club, Midlands Region, to be held at Senna Fangio Suite Donington Park on 26th November 2008 commencing at 8 pm.

The Senna Fangio Suite at Donington is signposted from the main entrance at Donington. Security will be available for directions.

A buffet and refreshments will be served after the meeting. It would be great to see you there.

Please let me know if you will be attending in order we can cater for the correct amount of people

Thanks for the update Jayne.

For everyone else in the Midlands region, how many will be attending? I think there are over 300 members in the region, yet we could probably fit everyone that attends an AGM into a phonebox (well, almost!).

It's OUR club's AGM, it's not something we don't have an interest in, yet there is SUCH little interest from most people.

If you are not planning on going, is there a reason for not doing so - how about posting it so the commitee could maybe improve it for next year (or maybe this year if there's time?) Maybe it's being a midweek date, maybe it's the venue, too far away, etc?

Personally, I'm just an ordinary club member, but as I pay good money to be a member of that club, I want to listen to the commitee's reports and have an opportunity to have my say about the club and it's future.

Col_Rugby · 18 Nov 2008, 13:24 (Ref:2336967)

I would love to attend Simon but unfortunatly I will not be this year.
Reason being I have to work. The date is not a problem as I now have to work 4 from 7, the days change each week. Sod's Law that I have to go in this year.
I, like yourself, would like to hear the reports etc etc. Oh well maybe next year.

Cheers Col

The Fat Clerk · 18 Nov 2008, 14:31 (Ref:2337000)

I'm going Col, I'll email you with the exciting bits!

JIMGOD · 18 Nov 2008, 19:07 (Ref:2337141)

I will be going, as i did last year.
latest update is 10 members attending!!!
Looks like there will be plenty food spare then.!!!

Work's got to be done - in these times, it's paramount.

Only 297 members left to respond.

I expect I'll try to make it, but seeing as I work in St. Albans, I won't necessarily be able to make it - it just depends on what time I finish, which I won't know until I've actually escaped from the building.

295 and someone might be walking

Jayne Poston · 19 Nov 2008, 09:04 (Ref:2337464)

I'll be there and would love to see as many people there as possible.

I am also hoping to do an AGM Special Newsletter to keep anyone who couldn't attend updated

I believe that these days, the kids call them "dealer"

allanh · 19 Nov 2008, 16:01 (Ref:2337697)

Not that kind of supplier. Don't want cracks in hydraulics

Reminds me of the story of the elephant

allanh · 20 Nov 2008, 09:06 (Ref:2338185)

Often wondered what you put in those evil roll ups Chris !!

sidds1959 · 20 Nov 2008, 17:06 (Ref:2338403)

i will try to make it but with working nights could be difficult will do my best as its the first one i am eligible to attend

Alan Green · 20 Nov 2008, 22:01 (Ref:2338548)

I'll not be there, just found out I'm on the rota from hell next week, which includes working till 22:00 on the AGM day (and the days either side)

For those that aren't attending, it would be courteous to email/contact one of the commitee to give your apologies - if you don't know who they are, PM me (with your 'proper' name

)and I'll offer the list of names at the meeting.

There's a world of difference knowing people aren't attending due to work and just thinking people don't care.

For those not attending, do you have anything you'd like to ask?

Jayne Poston · 21 Nov 2008, 10:28 (Ref:2338750)

Thanks 'Dead Squirrel' well said - I would just like to thank all the members that have contacted me letting me know whether they are attending or not ......... I now just need a few articles for the Newsletter ........

I'm sure I remember e-mailing a reply to the original anoouncement to say I couldn't go. The only comment I might have made at the meeting is probably as well stated here anyway: Thank you to those who put in the effort on our behalf. It is appreciated.

The Fat Clerk · 26 Nov 2008, 22:03 (Ref:2342449)

What a cracking event, nice food, good company and best of all the freedom to walk around the wonderful museum that Tom Wheatcroft has set up.
Well done to the Committee.

Would just like to thank all the members who turned up on the night.
More than double on last year.
The walk around museum was definitely a bonus for all of us.

Col_Rugby · 27 Nov 2008, 14:39 (Ref:2342753)

I knew I should have thrown a sicky......Glad you all had fun.

Col_Rugby · 4 Dec 2008, 19:17 (Ref:2347450)

Mr Brice.

Any good bits to tell me about? Apart from the walkabout?

Col
