The full minutes from the above meeting will be posted on the LMC website once approved at the next meeting. In the meantime, here are the key points for your interest.
If you have any questions, please contact either Peter Disney, Andy Graham or Karen Caile.
In the last four days a lot has happened within the Club.
On Sunday 30th April at West of England Ladies Kennel Society Championship show, Dr Robert Suchett-Kaye verbally informed four members of the Committee that after a lot of careful thought he had decided to resign from his roles as Chairman and Honorary Secretary to concentrate on other things. He requested that his decision be kept as low key as possible, and also stated that he would be writing to the Committee shortly. The formal resignation letter was received by the Committee on Tuesday evening. All the Committee and members would wish to thank Dr Robert for his years of dedicated service to the Club in different roles: his vast experience and knowledge will be sorely missed. The Committee was able to urgently meet via Zoom late on Wednesday evening to discuss implications and decide a way forward. The immediate requirement was to establish new Ex-Officio members: Peter Disney was co-opted as Chairman and Andy Graham as Honorary Secretary, serving until the next AGM when those roles will be subject to elections with terms to align with the usual three-year Ex-Officio rotation. The Committee was then able to welcome Chris Bargman, Sarah James and Jack Waddington to the team, all have been co-opted onto the Committee and attended their first meeting. Their addition is very much appreciated, and we all look forward to working together in the future. Clearly with considerable changes, the Committee has a new dimension and has much to discuss, and sort out. There is a strong desire to move the club forward in a positive and purposeful way. Involving and listening to members old and new, and keeping the communications flowing will be important. Before moving on, the Committee would like to wholeheartedly thank all those who have served on the committee, generously giving up their time and energy supporting the club. The club simply can’t function without such support, so once again – a huge thank you. Two further matters to share. Firstly, there are several roles within the committee that are in need of support (which could be done as a member of the committee or not). Further details will follow after the next committee meeting, but in the meantime, if you have some spare time to support the club, and would like to help, please let any committee member know. Secondly, over the next few months, the Committee will be putting together a “Plan for the future”, this will involve some collaboration and progress will be shared with the membership through regular updates. The next committee meeting is on 15th May. |
