| This meeting was blessed with extremely good weather unlike last year's. Having said that, a few of the members had to come through some heavy showers to get here.The day was organised by Dennis Weir, and a good job he did too, despite a couple of minor hiccups. (Anyone seen a key??) |
|
| The meeting itself was held in the Officers' Mess and was attended by 31 members, both old and new. This number turned out to be a disappointment, considering that we have over 400 members, but thank s to all who attended. Some had come from both far and near - from the South coast, from the East Coast and a few from RAF Digby itself. There was also a good smattering of members who had just joined. |

The meeting was quite short and followed the normal pattern of reports.
Unfortunately the treasurer, John Farrell, was unable to come to
the meeting , but his report was ably put over by our Secretary,
and the accounts were accepted by the meeting. This year for the first time we were able to send two delegates to Annual Conference, held this year in Bridlington. Terry Whittles, our Vice President and John Clark, our Chairman, both attended. Terry spoke against three motions, and they were all lost. (This means that Terry was successful in voicing his remarks). The most emotive subject at conference was the raising of annual subscriptions to £10 per year vice £7.50, but the motion went through very smoothly If you would like to read more about conference, see the latest newsletter when it comes out in September, or click here. |
| After the meeting we were treated to a presentation on RAF Digby, a war-time Canadian fighter station, and then we all retired to the museum which is kept in the war-time operations room. All paid very close attention to the interesting and informative talk given by Warrant Officer Dave Curry. |

For the few in number who did not have to rush off, a barbecue was
held in the Sports bar. All in all it was a very successful day. Thanks to all for attending, and thanks to all who took part in the arrangements. |
