On Thursday 6th May we held our 2020 AGM as part of our first Thursday Noggin. It was held virtually i.e. via Zoom. Afterwards we discussed events post-lockdown. It was an enjoyable evening. I would like to thank everyone that attended. I also thank those of you that gave your apologies. I really hope next time we will be able to meet up face to face, or mask to mask, as Steve Bridge drolly put it.
With the AGM in mind, and on behalf of the Centre, I would like to thank the outgoing Committee for all their hard work, achievements and great teamwork over the last twelve months.
Moreover, I am pleased to announce that at our AGM, the meeting unanimously approved the election of the following committee members for 2021/2022:
Centre Secretary - Roger Bluff;
Centre Treasurer – David Williams;
Centre Membership Secretary – Dave Cleveland;
Communications Officer - Steve Bridge;
Regalia Officer – David Mansfield;
Website Officer & Data Controller - Dave Vodden;
Harte and Magpies representative - Chris Nickless;
Additional Member - Tim Jones.
During the meeting I had the pleasure of awarding our trophies for 2020. The recipients were:
Richard Thorne Charity Trophy: Richard Clayton – while competing for the F.H. Douglass Trophy – most miles done in a Morgan during a calendar year – Richard delivered prescriptions as a volunteer while also visiting elderly people who were sheltering. Richard you are a worthy winner – congratulations and well done.
F.H. Douglass Trophy: this is awarded to the Morgan owner that has travelled the most miles in a year. For the second year running this trophy has been awarded to Steve Bridge. Congratulations Steve, we are all jealous of all those miles you did in your Morgan.
SGT Trophy: this is awarded to a member that receives the most nominations for being someone who has acted in the best traditions of Morgan Ownership in true club spirit. I was pleased this went to Dave Cleveland. Congratulations Dave – well deserved.
Our Silver Salver Trophy awarded to a member that has been most successful in motor sport, the Number one car badge trophy for attending most noggins in a Morgan, and the Late Glenn Davis Trophy awarded at a non-competitive event, were not awarded this year due to the lockdown restrictions during 2020.
