As past president it gives me a great deal of nostalgic pleasure to provide this report on the October 4th AGM. A brief financial update was provided by the club's new Treasurer which shows the club is making small steps in the right direction towards better financial stability.
A number of highlights for the year were touched on especially the recently completed Mardy Duncan Memorial (MDM) which was noted as being one of those initiatives in which the results far exceeded the initial vision. Donors were thanked for their generous support. Apart from being an attractive memorial, the work was a much needed functional improvement to the course.
The slate of directors as presented was elected by acclamation. Richard Anderson was thanked for his year on the board while David Bellringer and Heather Coulthart were welcomed as new directors. Bill Brown; Gord Campbell; Kathy Clarke; Cro Lucas; Garth Meeres; Al Morse; Herb Paterson; Bruce Russell and Bob Sangster were re-elected as directors. The officers are: President (Al Morse); Vice-President, Special Projects (Bruce Russell); Treasurer (Gord Campbell) and Secretary (Bob Sangster). Bob Sangster was thanked for his eight years as Treasurer and Bruce was thanked for his fifteen years as President.
On a personal note, I thank all the past and present directors for their support as well as all those individuals/members who believed in our dream which I was given the privilege of being such a recognized part of. While I will accept the accolades many have showered on me for my part, make no mistake, it was a team effort and always will be.
Yours truly,
Bruce Russell
