Up to 6 ordinary Members of the Committee

 

 

Held on 29 March 2009, at the site of the PP 6 hour rogaine at Kowen Forest.

 

The meeting was opened by the President at 3:46pm.

 

 

On the motion of Keith Conley, seconded Ian Booth, the minutes of the 2008 AGM (which had been posted to the website) were accepted.

 

Due to the Treasurer’s absence for family reasons, the President drew attention to the Treasurer’s Report (which had been posted to the website). On the motion of Keith Conley, seconded Michael Challen, the report was accepted.

 

 

The President reported that the 2008 ACTRA event program had been successfully held, except that the proposed winter 6/12 hour event and the navigation workshop were not held.

He highlighted a continuing shortfall in volunteers to run events, with Committee members having to shoulder an undue burden. He anticipated 3 alternative possibilities for the future management of ACTRA events:

·       ‘business as usual’ whereby the capacity to offer events would inevitably decline through insufficient volunteers;

·       ACTRA employs paid contractors to put on events, inevitably requiring much dearer event fees and changing the nature of the Association to more like an adventure racing company; or

·       ACTRA requires all members to volunteer at every 5^th or 6^th event they enter (along WA lines).

The President urged all members to consider these issues and to be more ready to volunteer. He stated that these issues would be discussed further by the new Committee.

 

 

The following persons were declared elected to the following offices, no further nominations having been received from the floor of the meeting and no objections having been raised to their proposed appointment.

 

 

There were four existing nominations to fill the six available Ordinary Member positions. A call was made for nominations from the floor of the meeting, and Keith Conley and Greg Terrill were nominated. As no further nominations were received from the floor, the following persons nominated were declared as elected ordinary members on Committee:

 

In accordance with paragraph 8 of the ACTRA constitution, the following motion to appoint the persons named as honorary life members of the Association was proposed. These persons have all been instrumental in the development of ACTRA, and have given outstanding devotion and energy to the sport of rogaining in the ACT.

Motion: That this meeting endorses the granting of honorary life membership of ACTRA to:
