Chobham and District AGM -Annual General Meeting – Tuesday 30th October
The AGM took place at Lyne Village Hall attended by 15 members.
Bob Deacon reported that membership currently stood at 33 and a few new members had joined at the September Dressage competition at Merrist Wood, the discount offered worked well. The June Show raised £800 for the RDA and was the 11th Charity Show run by CDRC.
Sally Watson presented the accounts. Despite the BRC levy being increased by 50p per member, membership rates will not be increased this year.
Bob then presented the Team Manager’s report. A team completed at Blenheim and were clear but not placed. However, the team for the Snowball Farm evening came 4th. Two riders were entered for the Sands Farm dressage but in the end neither could attend.
The committee members in situ were all due to be re-elected. Elizabeth Hillier-Sinclair offered to take on Team Manager, Sara Green to deal with Communications, Claire Valvona to manage the membership and Paul Broadest-Dixon also offered to join the committee.
There was a brief discussion about the apparent conflict of interest if Sally Watson was Treasurer and Michael Watson was approving the accounts. Nick Valvona was volunteered by Claire Valvona to take on the approval to remove the conflict.
There was then discussion about future events which are detailed further down this brief.
The club trophies were awarded at the end of the meeting, resulting in almost a clean sweep for Marci Gough who took the trophies for points earned at the Summer show and the overall points throughout the year. Liane Deacon prevented Marci’s complete dominance by sharing the Dressage Trophy at the Summer show and also taking the trophy for the highest dressage score at that show.

The week after the AGM a committee meeting took place to decide roles for the future year. At that meeting, Bob and Liane Deacon and Sally Watson decided to resign from the committee. All three have given many years of service to the club, both on the committee and running events, especially the Summer Charity Show and the club owes them a big debt of gratitude for their services over the years.
