The minutes of the previous AGM were read by the secretary. These were accepted as read, so moved Lindsay Tilley and seconded by Rob Wintulich.
Business arising: The MBGC clubs spare engine has now been relegated to the too hard basket due to the fact that Limbach are still in production and the spare engine does not conform. It has been suggested that it be sold.
Correspondence: Nil.
President’s report: Franco Fonovic reported on some new equipment that has been purchased for our Grob 109. Namely; new radio; new Epirb; new GPS; .These funds coming from the grant money received recently. Moved Baylee Roberts and seconded by Bob Jenneson that the report be accepted. Carried.
Treasurer's report: Bob Jenneson gave his usual detailed summery of the Club's financial position and gave out printed copies to those who asked for them. Rob Wintulich moved and Steve Burgess seconded. Carried.
Secretary’s report: All correspondence has been attended to including club statistics and GFA requirements. All financial business has been handed on to treasury. The MBGC club's postal address has been changed to Box 2468 Goolwa 5214 SA. Moved Steve Burgess seconded by Bob Jenneson. Carried.
CFI report: Lindsay reported all well for the year. There will be a need for all pilots to acquaint themselves with the new equipment being installed in the club's 109, Lindsay has asked that all pilots keep their log books up to date and to be sure to book in for their annual check flight as there is now consistent auditing of club affairs by GFA's upper house. This led to the discussion of spin checks .As we know we cannot spin the 109. We can manage insipient spins; however pilots starting from scratch need to add full and proper spin training to their schedule. This will need to be done at another club that has spun able gliders. Insipient spins in the 109 will then be a useful refresher.
Ray King moved that Lindsay's report be accepted so seconded Bob Jenneson.
SAGA report: Our SAGA rep Emilis Prelgauskas indicated that we were about to be inundated with lots of new paper work and mumblings about SMS and risk assessment etc. Emilis’s verbal report was accepted. So moved Lindsay Tilley and seconded Rob Wintulich. Carried.
Elections: All seats were declared vacant. Nominations were sought for the following:
President: Steve Burgess nominated Rob Wintulich seconded by Bob Jenneson. Lindsay Tilley nominated Franco Fonovic seconded by Steve Blacketer. Both parties were prepared to stand. So followed a ballot. Rob Wintulich elected president.
Secretary: Baylee Roberts was again elected unopposed, so moved Ray King seconded Bob Jenneson.
Treasurer: Bob Jenneson was elected unopposed, so moved Baylee Roberts seconded by Steve Burgess.
CFI: The committee again ratified Lindsay Tilley's appointment as our CFI.
SAGA REP. Emilis Prelgauskas was again elected to be our SAGA rep. Baylee Roberts is also elected as the number two rep for voting purposes.
GENERAL BUSSINESS: Bob Jenneson wants to start training a new treasurer. He wishes to retire from the position at the next AGM. A new software package may be needed. Bob is having trouble reading some entries in the clubs flight log. This can cause errors on individual member’s statements, could all pilots please ensure that entries are legible.
A joining fee was discussed; Ray King moved that a $100.00 joining fee be introduced for all new members from now onwards. Seconded by Steve Blacketer. The motion was defeated.
Club membership fees were discussed also and it was moved to leave them unaltered, so moved Baylee Roberts seconded Steve Burgess. Carried.
The hourly rate for FFQ: It was moved by Emilis Prelgauskas and seconded by Lindsay Tilley that the hourly rate for FFQ be unaltered as they were adjusted last year. Carried.
As it was getting late and there was a lot of business to get through it was agreed to defer further business this AGM to reconvene along with the first committee meeting next month.
Agenda items for this meeting will be resent to coincide with the first committee meeting.
Greg Newbold has volunteered to organise a BBQ for the next meeting.
