The 2013 AGM was held 'over the road' at the Polish Institute. There were around 50 members in attendance.
The Hon. Sec, President, Treasurer and Auditor all read their reports out.
Eric Carter was replaced by Norman Jones as the new SSC President. Brian (Hon. Sec.) and Athony (Treasurer) were re-elected unopposed. Andrew Deeley and Mark Fabik were elected onto the Committee whilst Geoff Ranson stood down. Deirdre Ward was elected by the committee to the position Vice-Captain as Peter Larrad stood down.
In Any Other Business, we heard and discussed many topics from the floor, which include anonymity of elections at the AGM, the piping out of the swimmers on Christmas Day was not up to standard, the Wendy trophy should be reintroduced, fertiliser should not be introduced into the Serps in the place of rock salt, the entry ramp for the Bridge to Bridge race should be cleaned prior to the race, 40 yard races should become 55 yard ones, introduction of a cleaning rota, better organisation of transport for swims away from the Serps that large numbers attend. Some of the more senior members of the club expressed their displeasure at the amount of communication done by email rather than in person, and asked publically why certain events of interest to them did not have photos or reports covering them.
The AGM was held once again in the lovely plush surroundings, and thanks for this must go to Mike Olizar for organising it.
