We had a quorum for our A.G.M. and the meeting got under way at 14h40 With our Secretary Robert reading the Notice convening the Meeting. Past Federation Chief Robin Kelly was thanked by Treasurer Helen Weir for his continued help in auditing our Finances. We bade a sad farewell to Ivan and Patricia Lane and Alan and Maureen Miller who have decided to take a wee break from the committee, our gratitude for all the service they have given the Society, and we welcome aboard “the good ship Caledonia” Mike and Elizabeth Simon and Sona Sing. They are no strangers as they have helped us in the past year while Jean Margaret and Andrew have been serving in higher office. We hope they will have a long and fruitful association with the committee.

Helen had intimated that she had wanted to step down as Treasurer, Tommy said he would just give her brother Jimmy Weir a call and like “Magic” she changed her mind and would continue for another year.
Tommy made special mention of how Jean and Andrew as Federation Chief along with Margaret As Highland Chieftain, had made great progress in having the Caledonian Movement recognised at Gatherings, also with encouraging the Societies they have visited to make full use of the website.
