ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Agenda of AGM, Scarborough Town FC
 
Blades Bar, George Pindar Community Sports Centre, Tuesday 23rd March 2010
 
  1. There were 17 members present; no apologies were received.
  2. The minutes of the previous AGM of 16th June 2009 were accepted as a true record.
  3. Summary of chairman's report: The club's rationale continues to be successful, as shown by examples such as Luke Jenkinson and Darren Clough moving on to Pickering Town, and shows our commitment to the young sportsmen of the town.  Delays to ground improvements caused by red tape have been frustrating but there are now signs we are moving forward. We need to work together with various others including Scarborough Athletic, even if this club has a totally different raison d'être to our own.   
  4. Summary of Secretary's report: Difficulties have arisen with postponements this winter and the fixture backlog now gives us 9 games within 18 days in mid-April.  The club has achieved FA Charter Standard.  Our facilities will be inspected by the chairman of the Northern League in early April with a view to possible acceptance into that League.            
  5. Membership secretary's report: Numbers are similar to last season.  There are no plans to increase the membership fee for next year.                                                                          
  6. Financial report: a statement of income and expenditure up to 28th February 2010 was distributed and discussed.                                                                                                                      
  7. In accordance with our club constitution, the following members were elected or re-elected to the committee:  S. Canvin, G. Barker, D. Metcalf.                                                          
  8. Proposed alterations to the club constitution were distributed and discussed.  The amendments to rules 8(a) and 8(b) would allow the club to form a "Business Board" from among the club members to prepare business plans and act on them; the amendments to 9(b) and 9(d) pertained to the notice of A.G.M. to be given to members and nominations for committee members.  These alterations were accepted.                     
  9. Fund raising was discussed, both ongoing schemes and new ideas.
10. "Any other business" included coach travel to away games and an appeal for further match-day volunteers.
The meeting closed at 9.05 pm.
