WEDNESDAY 2nd FEBRUARY 2011
TIPEC SCOTLAND MINUTES
Stewart Gordon welcomed all to tonight’s meeting, 12 bodies and 1 porker in the car park, on a some what cold February night.

Firstly this evening was the annual RO and ARO positions that are always up for nomination if need be and no new nominations were put forward for any of the posts and therefore a show of hands for each current ARO and the RO and it was voted unanimously that the current team will hold office once again for the 2011 year/season.
Stewart, Alan and myself wish to thank all of the members for there support and look forward to serving the Scottish Region for the forthcoming season.

The diary of events for 2011 is being worked on at this moment in time and will be finalised in due course. Many thanks to all with the suggestions for the season coming, among the suggestions were a rolling road day, technical nights, BBQ day out/run, Go Karting night, different shows etc. Many thanks to all the suggestions and as we have said in the past and will continue to do so, this is your club and your ideas that make the club and take it forward in relation to the season content and activities etc.
