Brief! AGM Report

 

The AGM of the branch was held on Friday 16^th May and, as so many meetings this past season, well attended. All officials were re-elected with the exception of Vice-chairman Nik Williams. Nik, a member of the RAF, has recently been posted to Northern Ireland. In his place, as Vice-chairman, was elected Mike Curtis.

The treasurer reported that income for the season was £860 and expenditure £842, resulting in the branch making a grand profit of £18. Funds in the bank now stand at £525.70.

             The training fund account presently has a balance of £284.49.

Committee Meeting

A branch committee meeting has been arranged for Thursday 3rd July, meeting at The Kings Arms, Bideford at 7.30pm

             North Devon Referees Sponsored

 

             Some excellent news was given by Tony Butler at the recent AGM of the North Devon RA. Tony has been able to secure some sponsorship for the branch from the North Devon Gazette. The local paper has agreed to purchase 40 tracksuits, suitably endorsed, which can then be distributed by the local branch to referees within the area. It is hoped that these tracksuits will be available before the start of the new season.

             The local branch has, for a long time, hoped to secured some form of sponsorship so this was particularly good news.

First Meeting—Change of Date

 

Change of date for first branch meeting of the new season. Instead of the 15th August it has been moved back one week to the 22nd August
