2014 AGM Update

1. Consider amalgamating WBAC and Rivacre as one club as the match calendar is already amalgamated. If agreed in principle 2015 would probably need to be a transition year to sort committee, meetings, rules, subs etc and may need a separate committee to run 2 weekends away per year i.e. Jason/Ian L for July and Ian S/Keith for Glebe

The proposal was voted against and both clubs will remain independent

2. Winter League matches to become part of the WBAC match calendar rather than be a stand alone league and thus it will be included in Matchman and Angler of the Year weight / points and count towards anything agreed in proposal 4 re matches fished with WBAC. Pools to remain open for non-members in WL matches only and remain unavailable in standard WBAC calendar matches.

The proposal was agreed and WL matches will be consider WBAC matches in future and considered towards Matchman and Angler of the Year. The only difference will be guests will be allowed to enter pools on designated WL matches 

3. Drop the current £1 Golden Peg given the above change to WBAC WL requires £1 towards league payouts and also introduce a Summer League using the existing calendar being best 6 from say 12 matches to use the £1 in summer. So WBAC will have a Winter League and Summer League based on best 6 from say 10/12 matches and the Angler and Matchman of the Year that run for every match.

The proposal was voted against and the current Golden Peg will remain as will the Winter League best 6 from 10 format

4a. Increase subs to £50 with £30 back once fished 4 WBAC matches (4 peg free matches per year?)

or

4b. Increase Glebe costs by £30 i.e. charge £150 rather than £120 for those not having fished 4 WBAC matches (to include Winter League assuming proposal 2 is passed)

or

4c. Leave subs at £20 and Glebe as is.

Proposals 4a and 4b were voted against and 4c was agreed i.e. to leave subs at £20 for 2015 and the Glebe event would remain open to all members irrespective of other match attendances

5. Committee of Henry (Chair), Rick (Match Secretary), Keith (Treasurer) proposed to stand again en masse (assuming proposal 1 is not accepted and WBAC remains standalone)

The proposal was agreed after Keith who originally expressed a desire to step down as Treasurer agreed to stand for 2015 with a view to looking for suitable candidates for the Treasurer position for 2016. The Committee of Henry, Rick and Keith will therefore stand for 2015.
