Meeting Report December 2008
On Monday 1st December we held the branch AGM. The minutes of the previous AGM held in December 2007 were read and approved and the chairman, secretary and treasurer gave their reports. After a vote the current committee were re-elected en bloc for a further term in office. The following members form the 2009 committee; chairman, David Brown; secretary and treasurer, Ian Wells; vice chairman Robin Butcher, and committee members, Roy Leach, Andrew Smith and Ray Smith. Ray Smith and Tony Hogwood were adopted as joint auditors.  In �Any Other Business� the situation at Chatham was discussed and we were relieved to hear that the facility had at least a one-year reprieve.
David Brown then gave two short PowerPoint presentations. The first was of the shipping encountered during a brief stay in Liverpool and trip to the Isle of Man in 2006. The second was a series of photos of the events of 11th December in Southampton, QE2�s last departure into retirement at Dubai.
After the break we had several short films on Glasgow, the river Clyde and the Clyde side shipyards.
