These were shown and discussed

1. Secretary was asked to enter the Sea Angler Bass competition
2. R Jolly to be asked if he can make a suitable timber trophy for the winter trophy match against Hope Fishing Club
3. Secretary reported that he'd received a phone call from T Clarkson that evening saying that he was thinking about leaving the club because of continuing cutting remarks, false accusations and vicious rumours being spread about him. Discussion took place about this and other events, and although it was accepted that there can be clashes of personalities and mutual dislike occasionally within any club or group of people, this unacceptable type of behaviour should stop before a more serious situation occurs. The Club will not accept this sort of behaviour which can, and has, lost the club members. If the situation arises again it will not be looked upon favourably.

There being no further business the Chairman closed the meeting.
