President’s Message – December 2023

2023 AGM Results/Minutes

This is my first communique as incoming President of the TTC. I’m thrilled to be embarking on this journey and look forward to trying to achieve Dave’s level of excellence in the role these past many years. I would like to thank Dave for all of his hard work during his term as President, and I look forward to continuing working with him as he retains the Chairman of BCD role!

The AGM was held on Wednesday evening; it was attended by 17 members. During the meeting we reviewed goings-on in 2023 and heard about finances, membership, BCD 2023, and a few other topics. You can view or download the presentation here: https://bit.ly/3R3aLBg.

A key portion of the meeting was dedicated to filling the various roles that are essential for us to have a well-functioning club as we move into 2024. I’ve inserted a few highlights of the election portion of the meeting below, FYI.
