Dave Murphy reported a first time pass rate in excess of 80% for the past 12 month period.  The KAMG has an Observer corps of 50 including nine Senior Observers and five new Observers.  There are seven trainees for 2011.

 

Thanks to Matt Marsh, for his help with MCD’s last year and to Russ Saunders for reworking the observer training program. A big thanks to the Team Mentors, Senior Observers and the support of Mick Mills, Keith Burlace, Dave Parker, Mick West, Tony Bullard, Michael Stapley and to the IAM Examiners.

Ian reported that of a Membership of around 300, in excess of 100 regularly attend the club meetings.  We had around 50 test passes (consistent with previous years’ figures) and had about 15 club runs over the course of the past year.  Other events during the year had included the 30th Birthday Bash and the Round Britain Tour, both of which had been well successful.

 

The Chairman informed that the MCD and IDCAM prices had had to be increased and that the club may have to look for a new venue due to rising costs.
