Full support at AGM

The dinner dance at the Leyland Hotel was superb, and a fitting tribute to the main organiser Lesley Halley. Many members took the opportunity to dress up and had a ball, the hotel gave us a really good room rate so many also stayed over, all in all a really good anniversary celebration. View some of the many pictures taken at the party here. The official business of the Sunday morning was the very first AGM of GoldWings North West. It was a pleasure to see so many members attending the meeting, including our friends from Goldwings North Wales. The meeting was opened a 11:00 am and we managed to stick to the agenda and completed the business by 12:30pm. The hotel even provided refreshments free of charge during the break. Congratulations to the new officers of the club, Ian Duxbury as Chairman, Karen Kay as Treasurer, and a mention to both Steve Fox and Dave Bayliss who contested the position of secretary with Dave just missing out  in the ballot. Thank you to both for standing up and having a go.  Thanks go to the outgoing Chair and Treasurer Bob Summers and Pete Rogers for their efforts and hard work during the first year in existance 

Ray Beech, a charity co-ordinator for the NW Air Ambulance was welcomed to the meeting and received a cheque for £500 from the members, this amount being raised during 2009 at the many events and run outs we had attended. The members also informed Ray that they had also chosen the NW Air Ambulance as the nominated charity for 2010.
