WBAC Pre AGM – 13th September 2010

Proposals
1. From 2010 onwards the Fur & Feather contribution by the Club to be increased from £50 to £60 and to be a Prize Drawer format open to all attending members with a “Lucky Dip £30,£20,£10 format” as opposed to the current increase in pools payment.
Proposed: Keith Williamson
Seconded: Kenny Pickup

2. In the interests of fairness when Club matches are to be fished on split venues i.e. multiple lakes the pools pay outs will be split pro rata across the pools in line with anglers fishing e.g
- 2 pools both with 10 angers will pay 1st and 2nd on each pool rather than first 4 across both pools.
- 2 pools split with 12 anglers on one 6 on the other will pay 1st and 2nd on 16 and 1st on 8 rather than first 3 across both
Proposed: Keith Williamson
Seconded: Rick Keeley

3. Membership fees will be reduced to £20 for 2011 given reduced Club outgoings.
Proposed: Keith Williamson
Seconded: Ian Simpson

4. New member joining fees and 1st year membership cost to be set at double the standard membership i.e. £20 joining fee and £20 annual membership assuming proposal 3 is sanctioned.
Proposed: Keith Williamson
Seconded: Rick Keeley

5. Guests will be allowed unlimited attendance, subject to space available after members have booked on. They will be subject to peg fee, £2 levy and section pools entry only to the matches with Members only having access to the main pools and the Golden Peg.
Proposed: Rick Keeley
Seconded: Graham Aveyard

The AGM will be held on 18th October 2010 starting 8pm at Conservative Club, Manor Road, Wallasey.

All members are welcome and encouraged to attend the AGM.

Any additional proposals to be received in writing to Graham Aveyard or e-mail me direct at the.simos@tiscali.co.uk

Other Committee decisions taken:

a) WBAC will continue to Sponsor the 2010/11 Winter League with a £100 donation - JH / IS to clarify the proposed payouts as per 2009/10

b) The Knockout final will be a 3 man final with Ian Hughes and Dave Grimes joining Ian Simpson in the final. Ian H and Dave have been unable to fish off and the Committee have decided a "bye" would be inappropriate at the semi final stage and thus agreed a 3 man final. Provisional date to be 13th November at Conway

c) Larford 2011 will be provisionally nominated as a "supported" venue with peg fees reduced to c£2.50 to allow for additional fuel cost for members. The Club will "fund" the differential in actual peg fees. Details to be confirmed with the 2011 Match Calendar due out in Dec 2010.
