The Agenda is attached and the lunch menu is: Starters: Chicken Terrine OR Smoked Salmon Mousse Main: Carvery, no choices necessary just help yourself on the day. OR Beetroot Tart Dessert: Apple Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream OR Chocolate and Caramel Torte Tea and Coffee to be served after. 3 courses are £28.50pp, 2 courses £24pp and £20pp for a main course only  The hotel is completely cashless. Please note that dates for notifications have been specified in the information below. All Centre officers have agreed to stand for re-election. I will stand as Centre Secretary with Sue as my trusty partner, Alan as Chair, Barry as Treasurer, Fred as Regalia & Calendar and Sue as Media. In the event of anyone wishing to stand or proposing someone to stand ( with their agreement ) for any of the positions of Chairman, Centre Secretary, Treasurer, Regalia & Calendar, and Media, notifications must be sent to me by Saturday October 17th please. Salient points on the Agenda: The minutes of the 2025 AGM are on the LinMog website linmog.co.uk in the members’ area. Please let me know if you don’t have the current password for this area. Discussion and voting on Subscriptions will be required at the meeting.   Subs pay for the website/domain name, event expenses, AGM teas/coffees and any sundry centre expenses, which are offset by advertising revenue from the magazine. In addition, volunteers will be asked to come forward for our 2026 Christmas Munch Charity Raffle and 2027 Sunday lunches/Munches/seasonal monthly events. Without organisers these will simply not take place, so in order for LinMog to remain an active Centre, your help is required. Please do not assume that ‘someone else’ will volunteer as this may not be the case. Any Other Business ( anything not itemised on the Agenda ) must be submitted to the Secretary 2 weeks prior to the AGM ( by Saturday October 17th ) so it can be distributed to members to allow them to comment or vote at the AGM.  General discussion at the meeting is fine, but no votes or changes can take place unless notified by the due date, in accordance with the Centre Rules. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MSCC have relaxed the rules concerning the management of Centres as follows: Centre Management In the past the Centre Secretary has undertaken a pivotal coordinating role. In recent times it has become increasingly difficult to find someone willing to take on the role of Centre Secretary. This document is written to help Centres manage business with the available volunteers. A Centre may choose to manage its affairs without allocating the role to a single person, but a key contact for liaison with the Club should be identified – this can be a specific person or a shared email address. Many Centres include a committee, which may consist of some or all of Treasurer, Membership Secretary, Events Co-ordinator or any other roles considered appropriate. In the event of a change of CS or key contact, it is essential that the new appointee informs the Membership Secretary (membership.sec@morgansportscarclub.com), who will notify the appropriate Club volunteers. The incumbent should organise an effective handover to his/her successor. It is strongly recommended that key volunteers are familiar with relevant MSCC documentation. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It is my opinion that we effectively operate as a committee at the moment with our designated officers who, together with a large number of volunteers, ensure the smooth running of the Centre. I personally do not see the need to change the way we manage the Centre. If any member feels that the Centre should instead be managed by committee, as described by MSCC, then a proposal needs to be submitted to me 2 weeks before the AGM ( by Saturday 17th October ) so that this can be added to the agenda. If this is proposed and a change is voted for, then volunteers would be needed to stand as committee members in place of the Centre Officers, a key contact would need to be identified and the Centre Rules will need to be amended accordingly. Please advise me if you will be attending the meeting before Wednesday October 14th, even if you’re not dining, as numbers are required for teas/coffees, seats and documents. Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided FOC by LinMog at 10.30am followed by the AGM at 11am and lunch at 1pm. If you’ll be dining orders must be received by me before Wednesday October 14th. Please state individual choices and also advise of any special dietary requirements.
