Discussion regarding winding up of the Club. Some thoughts: -
·
If the Club is to continue we will
need a new president as Sharon has indicated (a number of times) that she
wishes to step down. Don’t see anyone interested in the job.
·
No new members since ages ago
·
Many trips planned but few completed
·
Only regulars are 6 of us, with 2
more on occasion
·
Struggling to fill the calendar as we
are all busy doing other things
·
It’s a great social event when we
have the committee meetings
·
We will need to change the
constitution if the Club continues as TSAREO is no longer in existence and is mentioned with reference to winding up the Club.
