	    AGM Report
	     
	    It was a fine autumn day for our AGM 2009 held, for the first time in 5 Oaken
	    Clough Terrace. A small number attended and it was good to see 'old' and
	    new faces.
	     
	    Reports were given by the three office bearers and business progressed swiftly.
	    A review of the year was given by the Chairman highlighting the highs and
	    lows but above all stating that much had been achieved and much still needed
	    to be done.
	     
	    The current committee were all re-elected except for Terry Pilmoor and Chris
	    Leah who felt they had to resign. Terry is currently unwell and Chris has
	    other commitments now with Wooden Canal Boat Society. Chris and Terry were
	    thanked for all their hard work over the past years.
	     
	    Decisions were taken regarding the age of membership which is to be lowered
	    to 16 years of age. It was also agreed to network as much as possible with
	    other organisations and to publicise the work within the community at fares,
	    markets and with voluntary organisations.
	     
	    One new member, Rebecca Morgan, has come on to the committee and we welcome
	    Rebecca and look forward to working alongside her.
	     
	    We finished off the day with sandwiches, tea, coffee, biscuits and chat and
	    look forward to another year in the life of MTVCA.
	     
	    Neil and Nichola,our new neighbours at no3 joined us just as
	    we were leaving,and we look forward to their participation
	    as members.
