AGM 2022 – 5 Jan 2023

The Anchor Golf Society Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 2022, originally planned for 10th December after the last tournament of the year, has been postponed to early January.

The meeting was held using Zoom and minutes taken from the video recording. 11 members attended the meeting, apologies were received from Rob Budd, who had previously submitted his responses to the proposals.

This year’s AGM was important; we needed to discuss the future of the society. Due to the current economic situation the committee proposed several options to reduce costs to the members. Each proposal was discussed with the members, and each proposal was voted on. Some of the proposals were amended slightly.

Agenda

  • Committee reports for 2022
    • Captain’s report
    • Vice Captain’s report
    • Handicap secretary’s report
    • Treasurer’s report
    • Secretary’s report
  • Committee proposals for 2023
  • Proposals for 2020 – 2022 presentation evening
  • Post AGM activity
  • Members proposals
  • Election of officers
  • AOB

Committee reports for 2022

Captain’s report – Bob Unwin

We need to talk about the future of the society. Attendance has been really bad. Often fewer than 20, sometimes struggling to get 12. The core members that play monthly are the good members. The year went quite well, with 10 monthly competitions played. No reports of cheating. Comps for next year already booked from February to November. Let’s see how this year goes attendance wise. If anyone can get new players it would be better. But we don’t want more than 25/26. A number of members have left this year, but we should continue. It’s a friendly society with good banter.

Vice Captain’s report – Jason Bowles

Committee met in November and decided we do want to keep going. We need to vote on the proposals. There are new rules for 2023 and some rule clarifications to be made to members. eg. Ball lost under leaves – it’s lost, it’s not abnormal ground conditions. You have to play stroke and distance.

Handicap Secretary’s report – Andy Banting

There won’t be a best 12 games trophy, but we have 3 or 4 major trophies to be presented. Most cards were legible. We won’t be issuing handicap certificates this year. The final tables will be published on the WhatsApp scorecard group after the presentation evening.

Treasurer’s report – Mike Griffin

Item Amount
Brought forward £4069.01
Total income £14530.00
Total £18599.01
Money out -£15237.80
Miscellaneous -£16.68
Carried forward £3344.53
Loss on year, but this includes 2 years worth of trophies approx 700
Minimum bank balance to be maintained £2,000
Subs owing, mostly from people who’ve left. We may have to write this off. £150
Presentation evening costs expected to be £1000
Treasurer’s report for 2022.

Secretary’s report – Herb Miller

Website being maintained. Some website changes: Individual player results and attendance.

Committee proposals for 2023
