Thank you to the members who attended this afternoon’s annual general meeting (AGM) at the Fickling Centre. 18 of our 186 voting members made time to attend – thank you very much for giving your time to attend the meeting.

Reports were distributed prior to the meeting and these were accepted. They highlighted the massive achievements of members this year, the challenges, and the view of the future. David Edmundson presented a detailed and positive report about our outdoor range relocation progress. Thank you very much to David for making this complex subject clear.

Congratulations to the members elected to our club committee – the group that takes responsibility for the club’s decisions: Bevan Weir, David Edmundson, Geoff Sauvarin, Kate Fraser-House, Kelly Atkinson, Nuala Edmundson, Tom Matthews. This is the first year in recent memory that an entire committee has re-stood for election. Thank you all.

This year we initiated MGAC Service Awards to recognise extraordinary contributions to the club. These include a certificate, gift, and an remit of the cost of the member’s 2026-2027 membership renewal to show the club’s appreciation. Huge congratulations to Clive Hudson, Jan Lees, and Kelly Atkinson for their recognition with 2026 MGAC Service Awards.

Please know that club members always have a voice in how the club runs. The AGM is one of the most visible and important times when your voice can be heard. For the other 364 days in our membership year, don’t hesitate to contact a committee member or another club volunteer anytime to ensure your views are known.

Thank you to all our members for your support. Members make our club what it is! Keep shooting and enjoying our beautiful ranges as you further your archery.
