Cromarty 2007 group had asked us if they could use the HM Institute,

as they needed a larger venue.

Sandy’s report advised that the club has a current bank balance of

£1597.46.

of our ambitious three year improvement plan for the club can begin.

5 Match Secretary’s Report

Brian was not present but Alan spoke about the Black Isle Pairs

Competition AGM at Conon Bridge and stated that someone from this

club would attend.

6 Green Keeper’s Report

George reported that the rinks were green but that there were a

number of bare patches that he had reseeded and that rink number

one might present a longer-term problem. What we needed now was

rain and an increase in the soil temperature to kick start the growing

season.

Steve has found an exciting source for new clubhouse secure storage

lockers, which suit our needs. He will also talk to Brian Fairman

about the electrical rewiring of the clubhouse.

8. Youth Convenor’s report
