TREASURERS REPORT
The treasurer Frank Fallen reported that there were 20 paying members and seven honorary and country members. This was down by seven paying members from last year. He gave a breakdown of the income and expenditure andthe four venues that were played/ and although we ended the year with a reasonable bank balance this was due mainly to the levy that was put into operation and careful overview taken by the secretary/Dave Stack/for the costings of the venues. lt was agreedthat again this year only the Sponsors Trophies and Winners trophies would be available at the events and that the subscriptions would remain same but a levy of an extra £10.00 was agreedfor this year. Proposed; Steve Rimmer Seconded;5teve Costello
MATCH SECRETARYS REPORT
Match secretaryVince Crolla reported that the player of the year was calculated from the best scores from four events/and sincewe only played four this year it was considerably easier to announce the winner. It was also agreed thatif a player scored 40 points or more (a ripple of laughter went round the room) he would lose one shot for generalplay/ otherwise the calculations for handicap purposes remained the same.
