Fenprobe AGM 25th April 2023 The AGM was an important opportunity to express Fenprobe's thanks for Janet Smith's many years of devoted service as Secretary, and to begin the search for volunteers to take on some of the tasks she has undertaken so devotedly on our behalf. President Richard Hobbs agreed to continue to act as chair of the steering committee for 2023-2024, until the recruitment of the new chairman was completed. Treasurer Ron Moore distributed the annual financial statement, showing that Fenprobe was in a strong position, particularly thanks to Gordon Day's generously hosting our studio. The members of the Committee all agreed to stand for another year, and were duly re-elected, but more recruits are always welcome. Littleport Lions Donation We were delighted to receive a completely unexpected and grenerous cheque from Littleport Lions for £100.00. Littleport Lions have always been supportive of Fenprobe and we are immensely grateful for this. Thank You to Megahertz Limited! As anyone working with any kind of technology knows, there is always the worry of what to do when systems fail at a critical moment. We would like to send our grateful thanks to local company Megahertz Limited, who are generously funding a reserve USB stick duplicator for Fenprobe. Now we know that we are fully covered if our main recording systems go down. Thank you Megahertz! September 2022 |
