    CHORLEY RAMBLERS' AGM Tuesday 26Th November 2019 Chorley Cricket Club, Sandringham Road, Chorley, PR7 1LG Mike Wisdom, Chairma

    CHORLEY RAMBLERS’ AGM Tuesday 26th November 2019 Chorley Cricket Club, Sandringham Road, Chorley, PR7 1LG Mike Wisdom, Chairman, introduced himself and opened the formal part of the meeting. There were 33 people in attendance at the AGM and 2 apologies were received. 1/ The notice calling the AGM and describing the matters to be considered today was mailed out to all our members in October 2019. Mike asked that someone move that the reading of this notice now be dispensed with. Proposer - Eileen Entwisle Seconder – Linda Southworth 2/ Approval of the minutes of our last AGM on Tuesday, 27th November 2018. A copy of the minutes can be obtained from our secretary and is also available on our website. Mike asked that someone move that the reading of the minutes held on 27th November 2017 be dispensed with and that they be approved and adopted as presented. Proposer – Dennis Wilson Seconder – Bob Keyburn 3/ Chairman's Report. At last year’s AGM, Mike said he was pleased to announce that Chorley Ramblers had had a very successful year with a substantial increase in membership, reversing the national trend which is still declining. Although this year we have also had a healthy increase in membership, Mike advised that the committee who run the Chorley Ramblers has declined and therefore we are in a critical state. During 2019 three committee members and a volunteer, for various reasons resigned and gratefully, three have joined, but we still have a skeleton board. This is not just unique to us, but common to all clubs relying on volunteers.
