He knew sometimes AGMs could be seen as something of an ordeal, not least for those being questioned and making presentations. But that was not the case this evening when all should see tonight’s meeting as a celebration. A celebration that: the pandemic was on the wane and all could get together, a celebration that the club had survived the financial challenges faced, a cele- bration of the successful staging of two major international matches and most definitely a celebration of the much-improved performances on the field of play. Given the unbridled spread of the virus and what happened to other clubs, Mr Moore stated that it was quite incredible that the club had been able to fulfil a full season of fixtures.The club had taken considerable precautions to achieve that goal and he acknowledged that this had resulted in members’ enjoyment being significantly impaired at times. Mr Moore wanted to put on record his thanks to all members for their patience and understanding when their normal facilities were inaccessible. The club had returned a very healthy surplus, which theTreasurer would talk about in his presentation. However, the member donations that had taken place the previous year, and the impact this had on the club’s finances, should not be forgotten. Mr Moore thanked them, once again, for their generosity. He also wished to thank the club’s commercial partners for their loyalty throughout the pandemic.
