MATTERS ARISING: - Trev Day G3ZYY tendered his apologies that he had only been able to produce one issue of the Pegasus newsletter this year due to pressure of work and the lack of contributions from members.

SECRETARY'S REPORT: - By Brian Giles M0BHG welcomed everyone to the club's notional 40th AGM.

A total of 22 meetings were in the programme this year, plus the 40th Celebration Dinner, with six outside events (two of which were cancelled). He said that he had been the secretary for the last 10 years and hoped that someone new would take over. A vote of thanks were to due the Chairman John Painter, also all the members who sponsored the club Licence fees and RNARS subs and all who had help out in other ways, not forgetting the ladies. Acceptance of the report proposed, seconded and agreed.
