Social Events Such as a Pub Run/Treasure Hunt, closed to club event of a Sunday evening finishing at a Public House with pre ordered meals to greet members on their return. It was agreed we would put a date of the 1st of May in the 2016 calendar for such an event. To be included on the 2016 calendar, Pearl to run it with proceeds going to Great North Air Ambulance

 

2016 Events Calendar.  The draft version of the 2016 calendar is to be circulated and discussed further. Possible Feb Autotest and Joint Autotest with Spadeadam in March to be included

 

First Aid Training The MSA may require key people involved with the Greystoke to have first aid training and EMMU have offered to run two evening courses in early 2016. The club fully supports this and agreed to pay the cost of such training. Ian to advise Roger. And also look into the possibility of offering the training on a club wide basis at say a club night. Awaiting response

 

 Committee Meeting Venue As the Shepherds Hotel we may not be available to us for much longer we need to consider alternatives. The Conservative Club in Cockermouth was suggested and Russell said he would enquire and look for other options. We now have an alternative venue should we need it but seeing how Shepherds Hotel develops

 

Any Other Business

 

Russell - Competitors on WCMC events must produce a valid membership car before taking part.

 

Pearl - Lottery for Great North Air Ambulance, did we still want to pay to which the Committee agreed.

 

Keryyl - The Club has been registered with the MSA for 2016

 

Richard - Regs for events to be the standardised for next year for both autotests and 12 cars

 

Peter -  Informed committee that he can not commit to any long terms plans with in the WCMC calendar as he is awaiting surgery on his knee which will see him unable to run or help out on events for a while till rehab has been finished and  cleared to resume as normal.
