Motions received
i) We would like the AGM to consider the offer of an electronic magazine for the club, with a membership price of £20 as current if someone takes the emagazine option and rising to £25 if someone decides to continue with the paper one. With postage and printing costs rising year on year and the environmental benefits of not using a plastic postbag or any paper we believe that the time has come to offer both options.
Proposed Michael Wrigley, Seconded Shaun Whent

ii) I propose that the Club’s Articles of Association be amended as follows :
Article 3.4 – the words “two calendar months” be replaced by “fourteen days”
Article 4.2 – the words “two months” be replaced by “fourteen days” and an additional sentence added “In the event of such a lapse of membership causing an issue of the club magazine to be missed, the said issue may be purchased by the rejoining member at a cost of £5 including postage”
Proposed Robert Slater, Seconded Alasdair Worsley

Presentation of the Hector Mackenzie-Wintle trophy.

ROC over the next 12 months
A little while ago the committee met to discuss the current activities of the club and began to discuss some ideas for the future direction of the club.
After the close of the AGM (and maybe even over lunch) the committee plan to conduct a short facilitated discussion on a number of aspects of the club’s operation. We hope that all attendees of the AGM will be able to join this discussion and help develop some ideas to ensure a successful future for the club.

If you have any questions before Sunday please email Michael at membership@renaultownersclub.com
