JANUARY 2016
Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place on Friday 8th January, at 2pm in the Assembly Rooms, and was attended
by 79 members. Owing to a small mix-up, which led to some members only being provided with a copy of the wrong minutes
for the previous AGM, it was not possible for these to be approved and for any matters arising to be discussed, as
per the meeting agenda. Copies of the correct minutes, a vote on their acceptance, and an opportunity to discuss
any matters arising, will therefore be provided at the February meeting, which will be on 12th February.
Otherwise the meeting ran smoothly. Tony Bearman stood down as Chairman, having completed two very effective years
in the role. He was warmly thanked by members for his major contribution to Frome Third Age over the past few years.
Cliff Howard takes over as Chairman, and Veronica Parker was elected to the role of Vice-Chair. All other committee
members agreed to stand again for election to their current roles and there being no other nominations for those roles,
were automatically re-elected.
Following a discussion as to whether or not there should in future be a main monthly meeting in August, a proposal to
have an August meeting was made and seconded, and following a vote by a show of hands, the motion was carried. It was
also suggested that as an alternative to the usual meeting format, involving a speaker on a chosen topic, a social
event of some kind should be considered. It was agreed that the committee will consider options and come back to
members with a proposal at the March meeting, which will be on 11th March.
Following the AGM, fourteen teams competed in a fun quiz.
