Chairman’s Report
Rachael read out her report (see attached).
Rachael felt that the Festival Trophy was an excellent addition to the Club’s programme and would hopefully have more entrants this year. She has also been asked about another adults competition, which she has proposed be added to the programme list in 2015. In addition, Rachael suggested that the Annuals Competition could be extended to 9pm and include a party on the ice for members.
Rachael also congratulated the Committee for the club ending on a more secure financial footing.
