The CARAs 42nd AGM took place on Thursday 13th December 2018 with 32
members present.



Members at the AGM




Tony G3YYH, Chair, reported a successful year highlighting many notable
events including two enjoyable Fun Field Days, Foundation and Intermediate
courses with high pass rates, a fascinating visit to Ben Nocks Military
Wireless Museum and a good display of home-built equipment at our annual
Constructors Exhibition.




The Bernard King Memorial Cup awarded for noteworthy and praiseworthy
on-the-air activities was presented to Tony G3SNN for his superb DXCC
scores achieved over many years of sustained effort.Â* The John Holt G3GWW
Award for exceptional work for the club went to Smurf M0URF for his
outstanding contributions to Fun Field Days.












The Treasurer, given the healthy state of the Associations finance,
proposed that the annual subscription remain at £13. Approved unanimously.




The Committee for the year 2019 was elected. Chair Tony G3YYH, Secretary
Derek G3NKS, Treasurer Peter G3YJE, ordinary committee members Andrew
M0MVA, Alan M0NRO, Christopher M0YNG. Accounts Examiner Tony G3SNN.




Any Other Business. Tim G8PZD queried whether a decision had been made
regarding the move to a better venue for our monthly meetings. Two
venues were contenders, one tried in November and one suggested at the
meeting. The Chair asked that, following further investigations, the
Committee be allowed to make the final decision regarding the move this
was agreed. Tony G3SNN proposed a vote of thanks to the 2018 Committee
for their good work and to the Editor, Christopher M0YNG, for producing
such excellent newsletters every month.




Following closure of the formal meeting members enjoyed a light finger
buffet and lots of chat.
