SURREY COUNTY SMALL BORE RIFLE ASSOCIATION Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Association 2011 held at the Surrey Rifle Association Club House on 29 th March 2011 at 8.15 p.m. The President, Mr M Bailey, took the Chair 1 Apologies for Absence Apologies were received from D Deroy Parker, W Baptie, J Boshier, G Doe, J O’Connell, B Davies 2 Minutes of previous Annual General Meeting The minutes of previous AGM were approved and signed by the President as a true record. 3 Matters Arising The updated version of the Constitution, as approved at the last AGM, is to be posted on the County website. 4 Reports of Officers Reports from the Chairman and most Captains had been circulated with the Minutes of last AGM. The Air Rifle Captain gave his report for the year 2010 to the meeting, as follows: In the Inter County Winter League, we won every round in Division 1 – highest average was Ken Parr Jr with 297. At the National Airgun Championships, our top shooters were away in Delhi for the Commonwealth Shooting Federation Championships but we had just enough Surrey shooters to form a team. They finished second to Hampshire and top scorer was Mike Bamsey with 567. In the ESSU Championships, Ken Parr was English Champion and Hannah Pugsley finished sixth in the Women’s Final. In the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Ken Parr won a silver medal in the Paris Competition (with James Huckle). In the Inter County Postal Competition (663), Surrey retained the title with an average of 578.4 per shooter. Aberdeen were in second place. All team members were from Croydon. 5 Statement of Accounts and Scrutineer’s Report Copies of the Accounts had been circulated with the minutes together with a report from the Treasurer as follows: This report should be read in conjunction with the Balance Sheet and Income & Expenditure summary for the year ended 31/12/2010. Whilst the Association’s balance sheet remains strong, 2010 saw a drop in our General Funds from £38,105.14 to £37,869.08 albeit this was lower than the drop seen last year.
We continue to see only a negligible yield from our savings as a result of the very low interest rates where historically this has helped to offset our operational expenditure. Our main sources of income, through affiliations and competition fees, remain solid which is good as they continue to show that we are able to retain a good level of interest in our sport. The issues outstanding with overdue invoices from the NSRA and NRA relating to range hire highlighted in my report last year have now been resolved. We continue to see inconsistencies with the bookkeeping arrangements of both Associations. Indeed as you will see in note 5 within the accounts the Income/Expenditure summary from the 2010 Air Meeting benefited from a sizable reduction in the Range Hire costs invoiced by the NSRA compared to previous years. The accounts have been reviewed by Mrs. Ann Lewis as an independent scrutineer. This should not be construed as a full audit as it does not represent investigation of individual entries, but rather oversight of the accounting approach followed, and reconciliation of our assets as reported in the Balance sheet. Subject to agreement by the members of the Association, Ann has confirmed she will be willing to continue to act in this capacity for the forthcoming year – approved by the meeting nem.con. The accounts, as presented, were approved by the Meeting – Proposer Ian Shirra-Gibb (Chobham); Seconder David Brigden (32/61 st ). 6 Election of Office Bearers and Committee The President passed the chairmanship of the meeting to the Chairman and indicated that he was willing to stand again as President of the Association.
