The minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 17th May 2010 were circulated. Acceptance that these were minutes as a true record of the meeting were proposed by Tony Oliver seconded by Linda Oliver and signed by the Vice Chairman Phil Clegg.

The Chairman Peter Woodhouse report was circulated. Tony Oliver read out the report to the meeting.
Peter Woodhouse congratulated Rose Snape for being award the SPF roll of honour; Tony Oliver, who has been accredited as a judge for the SPF; Phil Clegg and John Stout for achieving LRPS and ARPS respectively. It stated that the Club has enjoyed another successful season and there has been the growing support for competitions. The quality of members work is partially reflected in this years SPF achievements. Our aim as a Committee is to provide an enjoyable format for photography. Peter is looking forward to seeing you all again in September with some new images.
Tony Oliver proposed a vote of thanks to Rose Snape for doing the Tea and coffee.
The Treasurer reported was circulated. It stated that this year the Club had 45 members and one Honorary member. This is similar to last year. Peter Read pointed out that the Visitors and Raffle incomes were all down on 2010. Even the bank interest is down significantly. Not surprising really. However, Tea and Sales were higher. Overall the income side is down marginally. On the Expenses side you will note that Lecturers fees have risen but Judges costs are down.
The Committee proposes that for the 2011/2012 club year, the Subscriptions should be increased to.
Normal membership £ 44.00
Joint normal membership £ 70.00
Visitors £ 5.00 per visit.
After some discussion mainly over the Visitors fee of £ 5.00 it was proposed by the chairman that the Visitors fee of £ 4.00 should stay unchanged. A vote was taken with 24 in favour and 1 abstention. A vote was then taken on an increase of £4.00 to Normal membership fee making it £ 44.00, this was passed by 23 members.
A vote was then taken on an increase of £5.00 to the Joint normal membership fee making it £ 70.00 this was passed by 14 members.
The result of these votes confirms that the membership fees for the coming year will be
Normal membership £ 44.00
Joint normal membership £ 70.00
Visitors £ 4.00 per visit.
