This was held in the Club Studio for members and visitors.

 

 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Our AGM was held on the 8th May in the Club Studio and was attended by 36 members.

Retiring President Vicky Coull thanked the Committee members for the efforts they had made during her term of office to help introduce several new projects.

These included the 50th Anniversary celebrations, the set of Cupar in a Brushstroke paintings still hanging on the walls of the new Adamson Hospital and the excellent dinner we all enjoyed together with our partners. In addition, the two Beginners' Courses, sponsored by Fife Council, and tutored by Andrew Parry, marked a new initiative for the Club and were very successful.

Vicky also emphasised the importance of finding new enthusiastic Committee members to ensure the future of the Club.

Thanks were expressed to Vicky for her valuable contribution as President over the past three years.

The Club is pleased to welcome Isabel Copland as the incoming President.

 

The 2013-2014 syllabus

Secretary Marian Shepherd presented the new Syllabus and reviewed the busy past year's schedule of events that included demonstrations and workshops and the new courses for beginners.

Treasurer Siv MacArthur was encouraging about the financial situation of the Club in spite of recent recessions and difficult times.

As for next year, the Club has planned a full programme of workshops and demonstrations. During the Summer months we are pleased to welcome back Andrew Parry to run the series of events that are listed in the COMING EVENTS column, on the right.

Alongside an increasing membership, the Committee agreed that the Club can look forward optimistically to 2013-2014.
