Chairman's Article from MPH
Through the Chair - September 2010
Tim Kirker
Having missed supplying a report for the last two editions of MPH, I was losing the habit of watching out for the monthly copy deadline. Graham's timely reminders always help, but last week my computer crashed! Fortunately, it was quickly fixed and there in the inbox was the monthly reminder, with a day to spare.
There's not much to report at the moment, except to remind General Committee Members about the meeting being held on Sunday 5th September at Holiday Inn Coventry M6 J2, Hinckley Road, Walsgrave, Coventry CV2 2HP. At this meeting we had hoped to table detailed proposals to change the Club Rules arising from our review of the governance of the Club. However, due to the inclusion of item 11 on the agenda (published in last month's MPH), we feel this is no longer appropriate, as such proposals will need full, detailed and objective discussion, which may be difficult to achieve in such a meeting. One benefit to the Executive Committee (but not to the Club) of this delay is that we now have longer to get advice, discuss and sort out this incredibly complex task.
Whilst I've had things fairly quiet, others have been busy - notably the Appleton family, Peter helped by John and Ann, who put a huge amount of work into making the Annual Rally a great success, with assistance from Debbie Smith, the Rockcliffe Rugby Club and the Avalon Hotel. (Not to mention Phil ET43 and the Conkers committee.) We thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. The next big do, for those of us who have not yet joined the idle rich and can go swanning off to three European rallies, will be the Annual General Meeting and Dinner - have you booked yet?
