January 2025 Newsletter

Published in Jan 25

Here we are again. A new year begins a mere 365 days after the last one. And do you also realise every single WFTR member is going to have a birthday during 2025. Quite amazing. It also quite likely many of those members will be getting the car out the garage and meeting up with friends. If you haven’t joined in with a run, car show or a social event make this the year you do.

But onto the news. Only one thing we need to talk about and that was the Christmas Party.

38 happy souls arrived at the Crown and Cushion for fun and frivolity alongside the pretty good lunch, a few drinks, video entertainment, games, speeches and presents. Thanks to the committee for organising the event.

There would be a gallery but you need to send us your pictures first….

AGM – 7 Jan 2025

The WFTR AGM will be held on 7 Jan 2025 at The Foresters Arms Bagshot at 8pm.

The draft agenda is as follows:

1. To receive apologies for absence and introductions.
2. Agreement of minutes from the last AGM. For 2023/4 minutes see: Minutes
3. Register WFTR Communications Point of Contact Report.
4. Membership + Web activity report.
5. Treasurer’s report and adoption of accounts.
6. Social Secretary’s report 2024 & forecast for 2025.
7. Election of Committee: Group Leader, Treasurer, Social Secretary, Membership Secretary
8. Consider resolutions
9. AOB
10. Close of meeting.

Please forward all nominations for committee members and any resolutions to mail@wftr.co.uk before 5 Jan 2025.

A reminder to all that without a committee there is no WFTR. We have run for a whole year without a Group Leader which has been facilitated by additional work being undertaken by the current committee and one coopted member. It is not onerous and all meetings are conducted by means of Zoom meetings, so very little impact on your time.
