2012
AGM.
Our
2012 Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday 13th
of December, at our usual venue, the Woodman Arms, Wootton. There
were twenty one Members present, with apologies from John Evans.
We
opened with the reading and approval of the 2011 Minutes, followed by
the Chairman’s report, as shown after this report. This was
followed by the election of the new Committee and co-opted Members.
No surprises here, it remains exactly the same as last year!
Under
Any Other Business, it was suggested that we should submit a Morris
Minor decorated tree in the Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival next
year. This met with general approval, and will be investigated
After
the AGM concluded, festive fare was served, and a small raffle was
drawn.
This,
of course, was our first meeting held since a new Landlord took over,
but as it was not like our normal meetings, it was difficult to gauge
how the new relationship will develop.
CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT.
As
Chairman of the Isle of Wight Branch of the Morris Minor Owner’s
Club, I would like to say I have enjoyed my position over the last
year, only made easier by the help of the Committee, but, like some
other Members, I am always willing to stand down.
Unfortunately,
there has been no response from our request in last month’s
magazine for the positions of Committee Members: this is
disappointing, as I think it is good for the club to have new input.
However, I would like to thank the outgoing committee and those
members who have helped over the past year, especially at our Rally
when it is most needed. This of course includes my Grandson Edward,
(then aged six), who worked like a Beaver at the gate.
The
Rally Organiser for this year will again be Dave Gilliam, who did a
sterling job this year, also thanking him for producing the monthly
magazine, input to the National magazine, and other Classic car
magazines, all of which can be thankless tasks.
I
can confirm that we have the same sponsors as this year for our 2013
Annual rally, Tim Lang of the Classic restoration Centre, Taunton,
Somerset, Wight Business Services, and Matt and Barry Price, of
Price’s garage, Newport. The Saturday Run for 2013 is finalised and
will be to the Roman Villa in Brading.
The
subscriptions for 2013 will remain the same; this decision has been
approved by the outgoing Committee.
Thank
you to Alan Peeling for keeping our finances in order and having the
foresight to purchase two year’s worth of stamps, with the
committee’s approval, and for keeping our blog up to date.
If
you do not already come to our monthly meetings, why not come along?
They are quite informal and friendly. Knowledgeable members are
always willing to advise you and answer your questions.
Your
comments and suggestions will be most welcome under any other
business and throughout the year.
Finally,
Mary and I wish all Members a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year
and thank you for your support and friendship during 2012.

MMOC Treasurer’s Report 2011/12
It
has been yet another satisfactory year for the IOWMMOC, with funds at
the year-end standing at a very healthy £1,431.06 after an apparent
loss of £336.64 for the year. However we have invested in regalia
and stamps during the year with stocks at sale value of £743.98,
some £338.58 more than last year. The loss is almost identical to
the extra stock values so it could be said we broke even for the
year: an ideal result! We usually buy stamps for the year just before
the now regular price rise but due to the size of the rise in April
2012 we bought 2 years supply. Our stock of stamps which which cost
£283.68 would be £394.00 today or £110.32 more! The committee
still feel that funds had been allowed to rise to an unnecessary
level and the money was not being used to our members’ benefit, so
we are happy with this years results.
Following
the financial success of recent free entry rallies the committee
approved the same for 2012, with a tight control kept on costs we
even managed to make a modest profit of £96.54 – an ideal result.
The aim of the rally is for folk to enjoy themselves – it is not a
money making exercise and we aim for break even. There still seems to
be a national trend for attendance at branch rallies to be slowly
decreasing so we are pleased to report that our figures seem to be
holding firm. As usual we thank our sponsors: Tim Lang Classics
(Minor Magic of Taunton) who donates the plaques and WBS of Newport
who did the rally programs and posters free of charge. We also thank
Island traders who donate raffle prizes and Barry Price (Price's
Garage) who sponsors the trophies – without all this help the
free rally would not be possible. The total value of this help is
roundly £370. We are also grateful to the Isle of Wight Steam
Railway for free use of their Show Field: we do however always make a
donation to this charity to show our appreciation. We also thank
Southern Vectis for the loan of the 'Old Girl' which is an added
attraction for visitors: this year we raised a record £190.00 for
the Bus Museum from bus fares.
The
cost to print and distribute the magazine is still around 30p per
copy. Our thanks to all who deliver magazine for nothing and to
those members who opt to have their magazine sent by email. The
committee meets 3 or 4 times a year and attend various
functions/meetings for the club but never make expense claims: we do
it because we enjoy it!
Due
to our healthy funds we feel justified in laying on the free eats at
the AGM, and the wine for the annual dinner. Members’ suggestions
for ways we can put our funds to members’ benefit are always
welcome.
We
always try to make a small charitable donation each year and last
year we made a £150.00 donation to the Earl Mountbatten Hospice.
This appears in this year’s accounts. As this years rally made a
small surplus the committee recommends a £100.00 donation from club
funds to the Hospice for this year. Previously we have had a donation
from a local business which was not the case this year, hence the
lower donation this year.
Membership
has again fallen slightly this year to 91
Finally,
with a healthy bank balance, the committee feels there is no need to
alter the £6.00 subs rate, with a £1.00 reduction for on time
renewals.
