Annual General Meeting 2010 Annual General Meeting 2010
The Annual General Meeting was held on Friday the 5th February at the prestigious Brooklands Museum. We had 30 people in attendance out of membership on the day of the meeting of 69 members. This is a phenomenal achievement especially considering that we do not expect members to have to attend meetings!
The meeting was upbeat with members having plenty of time to mingle over coffee and a buffet lunch. We were fortunate in having interesting speakers all of whom were informative with presentations relative to our industry. Jim Creaks' Fire Safety Signs presentation will be of interest to all members and is available as a PDF download below.
Many new friendships were generated during the AGM and while roaming around the museums exhibits, then the state of the art technology demonstrated at Mercedes Benz World. In the evening many members met up again at the AGM Dinner & Dance held at the Shepperton Holiday Inn to talk and dance until the small hours. By all accounts the AGM was productive and a great time was had by all.
