MVT, AGM,

 First, thank, Rod for representing the Devon Area……………

And congratulations to Preston, and the standing officers for the votes,

A full report on the AGM will be in the Windscreen

    

       But it would seem that the Library is going from strength to strength,

      Main club Membership is doing well 7209 members, 4540 memberships,

       Pubic liability-3^rd party insurance, far to complex for these minutes, but will be shown in the windscreen report. As will the new safety document (all 50 pages of it) for shows and events……………………………………….

      

   Website

           Thanks to Paul Sleep the website continues to improve, but DON’T forget it can only be as good as what is put in it, so Paul will always welcome stuff sent in, so contributions PLEASE,  also monthly musings, this can be serous stuff or whimsical,

 If you have a tale to tell, then tell it,

         Peter Coaker spoke up about event insurance, whether, its Vehicle, Model, or Display,   and the need to clarify what and where, at the end of the day, make sure all is in order

And the evening settled down for the usual high standard of food and conversion, I had the Chicken Curry, followed by Run & Raisin ice cream, A good turn out of Members meant there was plenty to chat about, so get yourself along, Rod is hoping to sort out some means of showing DVD’s. Between us all there is a lot of viewing to be seen, some of it now 30+ years old, it will be interesting to see how the rally scene has changed,
