The Secretary welcomed everyone to the 429th meeting.
The meeting was then given an update on Don Utton’s condition after his second operation and move back onto a neurological ward.
Kevin then proposed that we have a short meeting this month as there was no planned talk and some of the members, including himself, intended to go observing at Clough House straight from the meeting.
The meeting then discussed the unresolved issues from the previous months AGM concerning the lack of a Society Chairman. During discussion of what was expected from the various committee members, Kevin stated that he would take on the roll of Chairman if someone would take over from him as Secretary. Geoff Flood said that he would be willing to take on the roll of Secretary.
Geoff’s Nomination for Secretary was then seconded and passed unopposed as was Kevin’s nomination as Chairman.
We then talked briefly again about the state of the website and who was current webmaster.
Kevin told the meeting that we now had two dates for astronomy evenings at Delamere Forest Park in 2008, which were Friday March 14th and Friday October 10th.
Next the meeting was reminded of the upcoming NWGAS meeting and FAS convention and there was some talk about speakers for future meetings.
Ged then started a short discussion about the Timperley Country Fair and stated that we really needed more support at such society function days.
The meeting was then brought to a close.
