Ski Club of Manchester AGM, October 2024


Reporter: Andrew Walker (Club Secretary)

A few minutes late, because some people had difficulty getting into the Zoom meeting, the 2024 AGM started at 7:44 pm.

After the apologies, and the acceptance of last year’s minutes (despite the finance section referring to the report and accounts — now corrected — as being up to 31 August 2022),

Ruth Bacci gave her Chair report. She thanked the Committee for their work during the year, explained that we had created a social media policy and had opened a club Instagram account, and that we would in future be issuing holiday surveys immediately after the trips ended. She added that we had now booked the holiday 2025-26 holidays and that they would be announced in the new year.

Phil Jones reviewed his Treasurer’s report, explaining that the club financial surplus had been reduced, albeit by a fairly modest amount, in line with our policy.

After that we moved onto the election of the Committee Officers and members and, there being no AOB, the meeting was closed 8:12 pm (28 minutes). Approximately 27 attended.

Immediately afterwards Tosh presented a summary of the 2023-24 Club Holiday survey results. A summary is provided in the back pages of this Newsletter.

After a break for refreshments etc Emily Thompson from Tink Adventures gave a presentation on her expedition to Kyrjyzstan. She followed this with a talk on her experience of training her search and rescue dog, Nevi.
