The Annual General Meeting of the charity was held on Thursday 20th August 2009 at Parkhouse Healthcare whose offices in Birkenshaw were kindly put at our disposal.

A synopsis of the minutes will be published in due course but in the meantime the key matters were approved and implemented:

  • Proposed changes to the Bye Laws and Constitution were unanimously approved to allow voting by proxy at all future General Meetings
  • The Charity's accounts as at 31 December 2008 were approved.
  • The Trustees Annual Report to the Charity Commission was approved.
The meeting was also informed of the following:
  • Because of the loss of the Sunrise Medical sponsorship for the 2009 Peter Alliss Masters Golf Tournament, the meeting was informed of the Trustees decision to increase level of donation to gain a place at the 2010 event from £2500 to £2750.
The charity had gained sanction from the Ryder Cup/Celtic Manor authorities to stage a substantial Powered Wheelchair Presentation at one of the practice days next autumn. The Trustees see this as a great opportunity to invite as many clubs as possible to donate a chair or chairs at this prestigious event.
