Cavs Annual General Meeting

We had a successful meeting on Saturday, followed by a sausage sizzle attended by well over 30 people. Later in the evening, a small group met for drinks at The Queens.

During the meeting, we presented the Fencers Choice Awards. As the name suggests, these nominations come from the members themselves, (not the committee) so this is always a heartwarming time for our club. See Gillian for a list of awards.

The new committee for 2010 was elected as follows.

President - Gary Bates
Vice President - Mahmud Jaffar
Secretary - Gillian Kings-Lynne
Treasurer - Lachlan Martin
Coaching Coordinator - Mike Middleton
WAFA Representative - position vacant

Other committee positions are as follows.

Equipment Officer - Ian Walker
Tournament Officer - Alex Boujos
Bladez Coordinator - position vacant
Social Secretary - position vacant (some unconfirmed interest)
Promotions Manager - Maya Polanski
Librarian - Jason McNamara
Web Page Manager - Maya Polanski
ECU Guild Representative - Simon Macintyre

Anyone wishing to take on the job of WAFA Rep or Bladez Coordinator, please advise Gillian.
The role of Social Secretary has received interest from several different parties who do not wish to take it on alone. We are still open to offers for this job.

****************************************************

WAFA AGM and AWARDS PRESENTATION

This will be the next important item on the fencing agenda.

Saturday 21st November 5pm, followed by drinks and nibbles, at Claremont.

IMPORTANT - there are many positions vacant at WAFA. In particular, the role of Tournament Chairperson has been vacant for some time, with no sign of being filled. This is a job requiring full commitment. If you are interested, let me know straightaway.

There will be no WAFA comps next year if this position is not filled.
