Thank you to all those who attended the Annual General Meeting and participated in the Committee Elections for 2025.
The 2025 Committee largely unchanged from 2024, with Robin, Peter and Kerry continuing in the leadership roles of President, Secretary and Treasurer. Pat continues in his role as the Competition Secretary, Miles as Librarian and Don has continued for another year as the Federation Representative; however, Don has noted that this will be the last year he does this role. Sean volunteered to continue in his role as the Clubbies Rep.
Grant and Angela have offered to continue as the Social Coordinators and I’d request that members to please get behind them and share the organisation load!
Gary Dodd has come into the Committee as the Regalia Officer and I thank Gary for offering to take this role on. The roles of Club Registrars for Conditional Registration continues as Don and Gordon. We may look to recruit another Registrar for 2025, particularly as we have additional logbooks to sign for next year!
One role we don’t formally have filled is the role of Web Master. I’ve agreed to another year as President on the proviso that someone takes on the back-end running of the website and the admin that comes with it. Gordon, myself and now Gary will upload (and create) content onto the website and the Club’s social media platforms but we do need someone to run the back end of the web and just keep it running as an administrator.
Other than that, the Treasurer noted that the club accounts require auditing. This isn’t a job specific for an accountant, simply someone independent of the Committee who has the skills to audit the books so I’m looking for a volunteer. Its quite important that we get this done.
The National Challenge Committee sits outside of the formal Club Committee and our small band will continue on with the plans for the 2026 meeting. More on that to follow, but if you’d like to talk to anyone on that committee (or volunteer to help as the organisation ramps up next year), the Nationals Committee is currently Sue, Helen, Gordon, Dean, Grant, Angela and myself.
Hope I haven’t forgotten anyone! If you’d like to learn more about the committee and perhaps take on an understudy role for any of the positions, please let us know as we’d love your help and input to run the club for 2025.
Looking forward to a great year in 2025. I’ve already had some ideas floated for runs and events, even a possible weekend away to stretch our cars legs a little further than the Adelaide Hills and surrounds which would be great.
Onwards and forwards into 2025. See you out on the road!
