Competition Secretary: May need more mugs to cover the 12 car awards. The club had awards for people who had joined the club via the Malcolm Wilson Rally that we are unable to contact. Therefore we would wait to see if they entered the event again this year and if so try give the awards to them at the event. Malcolm Wilson Rally meeting being held tonight.
AOB:
Ian: Ongoing saga with Barclays continues, Ian to try and resolve
Russel: Spoke of getting a plinth for the Bowmaker Trophy, which would be backdated for the missing years. Also spoke of the possibility of getting next years awards shortly to avoid problems with supply.
Roger: Ilkley had a virtual scatter using Google. The route was released electronically and it was then the fastest round the route plotted. Other clubs have similar internet options – perhaps worth considering for the future? Stephen to ask Neal and Clare Raven.
