Presidents Report 20/07/2023
Last Monday I had the opportunity to visit Torquay Community House with Robyn O’Loughlin, primarily to check out their meeting room facilities prior to the RCOT Board meeting later that night.
We met with TCH Coordinator Prue Challis who in addition to setting us up for the meeting and cook’s tour, spoke about her vision for TCH and the services offered to our community. More about this later in the year when Prue joins us at a dinner meeting as our guest.
RCOT Board Meeting
We had a busier than expected first Board meeting for the year primarily setting us up for the year ahead. The items discussed included:
· Child Safe Policy
· Code of Conduct
· Preparation for DG’s Visit 14th August
· Club Assembly – Next Meeting 24th August
· Public Image and PIT Crew
· Fundraising and Sponsorship
I will give a brief report next Monday night and ask the Directors to give a brief update at future meetings on activity in their area of focus.
DG Ian McKay’s Visit
Preparations are underway for the DG’s Visit. The Club will invite representatives from the different community groups to attend the evening. Each of our Directors will provide an update on our current and future programs and projects. This evening is a partner night, so please come along to enjoy the occasion.
Club Assembly – Next Meeting 24th August @ Kithbrooke
This is an important meeting to set the club up for the year ahead. We will sit in our committees and determine what we would like to achieve in the year(s) ahead.
I will circulate by separate email last years committee list for your reference.
Motor Show
PE Bruce will chair the initial planning meeting next week to kick things off for our next Motor Show on 11th and 12th February 2024. Stay tuned for future updates.
