CQBHA 2008 AGM Overview

The CQBHA 2008 AGM was held at 10:30am on Saturday 5th April 2008 in the
recently refurbished Yacht Club - which has now been renamed the Boathouse.
The event was well attended by members - many of whom were prepared to stand
for the whole of the proceedings!

The meeting began with the Chairman's illustrated review of CQBHA activities
during 2007. Jon also outlined the objectives and events planned for 2008.
The Treasurer presented audited accounts for 2007-2008, showing a healthy increase in funds
- enabling CQBHA to initiate and support the 'Moving Weather' service in
partnership with MDL.

Two committee members stood down at the AGM - Keith Holland and Ken Wragg
and two advance nominations had been received for Roger Squires and Ian
Jordan. The committee was re-elected with these two substitutions.

On behalf of the committee, the Chairman made a special presentation to Ken
Wragg in recognition of 8 years service to the Association and in particular
for his development and maintenance of the CQBHA website.

Following the completion of the official AGM business, Mark da Costa gave an
illustrated talk about the formation of Sealine South Coast (of which he is
MD) and its relationship to Sealine International and the Ancasta Group.

The second guest speaker, Brian Murphy, has recently taken over the post of
Harbour Master, following the retirement of Peter Booth. Brian talked about
his background, the responsibilities of the Poole Harbour Commissioners, his
priorities for the year ahead and an update on the second bridge. This talk
provoked many questions from the audience!

The final guest speaker was Dave Wilson, who reviewed the major changes
during his first year as Manager at Cobbs Quay and the meeting closed at
12:35.
