Laidley QLD - AGM AGENDA
Registration

Acceptance
of 2016 minutes to be true. The minutes
that appear on the web site 2016 AGM
were adopted as the official minutes as
the minutes that were taken by Daryl
this year did not eventuate. The
recollections of John Chambers and Terry
Gliddon were accepted by the attending

Secretaries
Report by John Chambers
Membership
as at the 30 September 2016 stand at 200
(Financial, Honorary, Life, committee.)
with 43 outstanding of which we can
expect on past years a further 30 by the
end of the year. (Once they realise they
are not receiving their newsletters,)
that should leave us about 20 members
down on last year. And
20 down on the previous year.
I
believe that the down turn in renewals
is due to a number
of members in Queensland not being able
to Club rego their bike unless they are
in a Queensland based Club.
Members
disappointed in the way the committee
has handled the controversy over the
missing clutch.
I
believe that with the adoption of the
two new proposals that have been put to
the members if accepted will allow for
the increase in the number of
outstanding members re-joining by end of
the year.
Herb
Conlon has conveyed to me that he may
not be available to do the club rego
next year as his commitment to his
family has grown and that we may need to
look for someone to work in conjunction
with him with the intent to take over
this duty.
Disappointment
of members not taking advantage of the
increased funds available to them to
hold a club function. This has proven to
be able to pretty much cover food,
drinks and other outgoings to the person
or persons running the function.
Follow
up on the suggestion of Geoff Bamford
that idea of a plastic membership card
will this year need to be further looked
into as many members have this year
queried the idea that the paper card
just is not adequate and I shall need to
purchase the appropriate machine and
cards that best suit us.
Terry
Gliddon
to report on Belt Buckles Club Belt Buckles are in hand and a request for these to be cast has gone to Laurie Moloney at BBL Metal Castings for production, more soon.
This
has now been forwarded to Laurie Moloney
at BBL Castings for implementation.
Facebook
report by Terry Gliddon
Michael
Murphy: As
we are aware has stood down from the
position and it has now been managed by Matt Taylor and (second)
Steve Carle. They both send their
apologies not being able to attend.
Proposal:
Terry Gliddon. I suggest that their
positions be officially recognised and
accepted by the club.
Instagram:
Report by Anthony Sibary
The
Instagram page has been up running on a
trial basis for approx. 4-5 months now
to give members an idea on how it works
and the alternative platform to Facebook
to display photos, it is currently an
open forum for people to comment on
photos.
Discussion:
Members quizzed Anthony on the need and
the operation of Instagram
and after discussion from the floor it
was put to the members attending:
Proposal:
John Chambers. That we the Club accept
the Interim platform that Anthony has
set up and that he also be accepted as
the Instagram page manager. This
position does not have a position on the
committee and is therefore overseen by
the Club committee. Second:
Terry Gliddon
Website
Managers Report by Terry
Gliddon
The
website is still achieves 160,000 to
200,000 hits per month and some new
sections have been instigated e.g. 2017
races in the events and rides section.
Terry impressed the importance of the
notice board for posting new information
on club activities and vendors new
offerings.
Race
Bike Managers Report by Ivan
Hoey
I
(Ivan) am very happy with the results
attain by the bike and its current rider
Stacey Heaney over the past 12 months.
The acceptance of external sponsorship
that the club and Stacey herself have
been able to get on board. The new
sponsors for 2017-2018 in Hi-Tec Oils
via Stacey and Liquid Intelligence,
looks to be a great year for the race
team and the new inclusion of Nick
McGinn as our Victorian race bike
committee go to guy. Thanks Nick.

Removal
and Election of Club Officials
The
new position of Vice person was created
and nominations taken and after
discussion it was unanimously accepted
that David Rayner fill this new
position.
All
2016-2017 existing positions removed and
returned except for change of President.
Member
held proxies where not introduced as the
numbers would have made no difference to
the outcome. (These can be viewed on the
attendees roll)

Business
Proposal.
Approach Ian Lihou for assistant editor.
(Terry spoke to Ian Post Election and
Ian and has agreed to fill the position
of Associate Editor of the newsletter.)
Second:
Steve Bragger
Life
Memberships:
It has been some time since a life
membership has been awarded and I
therefore
It
was passed some years back that Life
memberships were not to be issued on the
pretext that holding the position of
President automatically entitles that
person to a life membership. Being
involved in club activities that you
volunteer for is also not an automatic
entitlement for life membership either.
It
is acknowledged that members are
nominated by other members because they
outperform what is normal activity
within the club or are constant
participants in club activities or help
at even the lowest levels of comradeship
within the club.
