2011 AGM
Thursday 24 November 2011
The club's Annual General Meeting was held in the club room today, 24 November, to hear about the results of the past year and to look forward to the future.
A popular decision was taken to elect Kay James as President and, after the formal business was over, Roger Grindle was presented with his Welsh Athletics' meritorious award by Welsh Athletics President John Penny.
Retiring chairman Peter Lane, in his annual report, described the preceding year as mixed, with successes for the younger teams balanced by the disappointment of the senior British League and UK Womens' League teams finding life in the Premiership divisions too tough.
Peter expressed his gratitude to all those who had assisted him during the past two years and paid tribute to everyone who contributes to the continuing organisation and high standing of Cardiff AAC. He mentioned the recent appointment of Liz Taylor and was sure that she would be a great help to the further development of the club.
Treasurer Graham Webb was able to present a healthy financial position but warned that, with ever higher travel costs, next year could be quite difficult as two major sources of income would not be repeated.
Kay James' election as President was a fitting recognition of the many years of hard work that she has given, not only to the club but also to the region and to Welsh Athletics. She joined the club in 1981 and is the first woman to become President.
