Draft of AGM Minutes
CANADIAN WAYFARER
ASSOCIATION
Minutes
of the Annual General Meeting held 22 Jan 05 at
the TS&CC
Chairman, George Blanchard, called
the meeting to order at 1730 on a snowy evening with
8 members and two
wives in attendance. Several additional members
joined in later.
Minutes of last year’s AGM had been distributed, and
Secretary, Fred
Black, moved their adoption. Mike Codd seconded, and
the motion was
carried.
Financial Report: Treasurer, Mike Codd,
pointed
out that although revenues were down by $1,900
(largely due to the
popularity of the $20 e-mail only memberships) this
was offset by
reduced postage costs, and our net worth remained
constant from last
year at $6,500. The largest cost was web
site-related materials. The
cost of flags and trophies exceeds the regatta
revenues, a matter which
will be left to the CWA Executive to deal with at
their next meeting.
Following discussion, the report was seconded by
Bill Fyfe, and adopted.
Chairman’s Report: George Blanchard stated
that our
Worlds ‘04 Regatta Chairman, John Weakley, had been
invited to attend
the AGM & Awards Dinner so that we could
recognize his
contributions to the class with an Honorary Life
Membership. George
read out John’s letter in which he explained that a
Florida commitment
would prevent his attendance. The letter went on to
single out
association members who had assisted him, and
graciously attributed the
Worlds' success to them. George next tabled the ‘05
slate of executives
and fleet representatives that he had assembled.
Bill Fyfe graciously
accepted our unanimous request that he take over as
Chief Measurer from
Len Macdougall who is retiring after many years in
that position but
who will stay on as London's Fleet Measurer. Mike
seconded the
Chairman's report, and the meeting adopted it.
New Rules Nos. 2.7 and 2.8 had been proposed
by the UKWA
to impose sensible limitations on the rebuilding of
Wayfarers. The
meeting voted unanimously to endorse them.
Adjournment was at 1840, upon a motion by Frank
Goulay, whereupon 28
members and guests assembled in the lounge for our
buffet.
Following the dinner, Mike took the floor to award
door prizes, to
share John Weakley’s letter with the whole group,
and to acknowledge
the roles of his wife, our caterer, and the club
manager in putting
together our evening. He then made the following
trophy awards:
