President’s Report: Ian highlighted the coming years compressed programming due to no longer running concert nights after the Grainger/ Parkinson concert on the 19th November. The only exception to this would be if there could be guaranteed no financial loss. No theme nights other than the trivia night have been scheduled due to lack of attendance in the past years. A major success for the club has been the North to South production and we look forward to future similar innovations. Ian imparted sincere thanks to the committee and thier partners for the time and effort committed to club endeavours.
