The AGM was held on Monday 5th December at Fairways with a disappointing turnout of 24 members. Apologies were received from 5 members. The Chairman presented his report thanking the Committee and club members for their support during another difficult year. He also thanked Tom McBride and the observers for a successful Club Championship, which ran to the new format. Stewart Anderson for his commitment to the Juniors and Garry Coward for his organising of the "Introduction to Trials Day" held at Tain in November. 

The Secretary/Treasurer presented his report with funds increasing slightly even though membership and Club Trial entries were down. The increase was again due to very successful National Trials, particularly the Highland Classic Two Day. The Account Statement was discussed and was approved as correct. As the Club is still on a sound financial footing, Membership and Club Trial Entry fees will stay at 2011 levels. Proposals and voting then took place for Club Officials due for re-election. 

Chairman : Malcolm Smith (also a Director) (Elected for 2 Years until 2013)

Secretary/Treasurer: Dave Mackay (Company Secretary) (Previously elected  for 3 years until 2013)

Directors : Alex Carmichael, John Moffat, Tom McBride (Previously elected for 2 years until 2012)

Committee : Stewart Anderson, Garry Coward, Gordon Murray, Richard Lound and Geoffrey Davison.

Discussions took place on the under noted subjects and were agreed.

Club Championship : The Championship was discussed and was deemed as successful running each round with 4 laps of 10 sections. For riders being put off by the thought of a "Club Championship Round", being hard, please don't be! Championship rounds are not any more difficult than the usual Club trials. 

All Trials : It was agreed at the 2010 AGM, that at each trial, volunteers would be sought to mark out the next event. This will consist of one experienced member and 2 or 3 "newcomers". PLEASE NOTE THAT ANYONE MARKING OUT A TRIAL IS ENTITLED TO A FREE ENTRY. This format has been working well.

Website : If anyone has any photographs of riders at events, please get in touch with the Secretary. It was requested that some more history of the Club and members should be on the website. If you have any information please get in touch with Gordon Murray or Dave Mackay.
