Secretary:
Clubs subs had not been paid for ANCC - information for Treasurer updated and £30 subs paid – due back in November 2020 but covers up to 2023 due to Covid.
Attended SD34 meeting in Preston – useful to put names to faces. Next meeting is Zoom.
Competition Secretary: Russell reported that the autotest on the 26 June had gone very well – despite the rather wet weather. There were 12 entries. Next event would be a Rallytest at Oldside on 18 September, hopefully followed on 2 or 9 October, and 23 or 30 October events.
AOB:
Roger mentioned the lack of a report for the magazine on the autotest.
He also queried whether in April 2023 the name of the club need to be changed to West Cumberland Motor Club to reflect the split of Cumberland/Westmorland. After the meeting it was discovered that Cumbria would still exist as an ‘ceremonial boundary’ so possibly not. If the name was changed it would have to be voted on at an AGM, and it would involve a cost.
Date of next meeting: 7.30pm 3 August 2022 at Hundith Hill Hotel

7 September 2022
