On a point of order from a paid-up member, the GC noted that the notice of the 2008 AGM had not been correctly made. As a result the proposed AGM was converted to an Information and Progress meeting only.

At that meeting, held in place of the AGM, the Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary made full reports. PR for the class was discussed and broad discussions held on future aims. It was a relatively short meeting. Two members joined the meeting online via Skype.

The minutes of this meeting will be published to paid up members. The notice for the AGM (this time following the correct timescale) will also be issued to paid up members and arrangements made to hold the AGM online. The first step in the process will (hopefully) be the adoption of the F16 Constitution which has been drafted by the Governing Council and which members will have the opportunity to vote on very shortly.

Once the Constitution is in place, the framework for all other administrative decisions affecting the class will be available for all members to utilise.
