AGM<br />
***<br />
The meeting started late as usual at 20.45, with 57 members<br />
present on a head count and 45 admitting to being present in<br />
writing. Minutes provided courtesy of 'Tett & Pedley back-of-an-<br />

1. Apologies<br />
M.Harvey, M.Patterson, R.Baeumeister, F.Galbraith, J.Edwards<br />
and N.Goldsmith for absence and Tim Tett for leading the pack<br />
astray at Eyam Y.H..<br />
2. Minutes<br />
Accepted!<br />
3. Matters Arising<br />
The Race Committee has still not met after two years of eager<br />
anticipation. It seems to have fallen into disrepair and was<br />
scrapped.<br />
The Skyline was again mentioned, as always, but thankfully<br />
this time only to thank Tom and Enid, for a sterling effort in<br />
organising this years race and were justly rewarded with a bottle<br />
of plonk (see AoB).<br />
4. Chairman's Report<br />
The new format club champs and dinner were a great success<br />
with credit due to Pete Dyke and Jeff Harrison. The prizegiving in<br />
the pub was critised by some but it was decided to continue with<br />
the same format as the time saved at the dinner was considered of<br />
greater worth. The Skyline also went well thanks to Tom and Enid<br />
but only just made it. The mild outbreak of road running<br />
continues with Kev Lilley congratualated on his half marathon<br />
victory and 2h27m marathon in London. Finally the chairman<br />
commended the Not the National Cross Country Championships race to<br />
the membership : a classic course with hills, fields, woods paths<br />
and a water splash. One of the few true cross country courses<br />
left.<br />
