Chairman: We had a successful year with a good membership of 22. The club kept being friendly also having a few socials.
Tresurer: The club made a deficit of £331 leaving a balance of £1255.61. Discussions about whether there should be a money book. Agreed there would be so that anybody can take visitors money and write it in the book and give it to the Treasurer at the earliest occassion.
Mixed Captain: We came second in the league and so we will get promoted for the second year running.
Mens Captain: The team enjoyed themselves.

Relocation
possibilities
It is expected that the council will be closing the barn for refurbishment at some stage. We discussed what we would like from the refurbishment and the possibility of moving to another location either on a temporary or permanent basis.
Things we would like to see in the Hall if improved by Mendip Council / Wells Council
1) Heating
2) Colour of the Wells (See Badminton England sight)
3) Lighting (preferably uplighting) - e.g. 6 on each court. so 2 additional
4) Floor should still be good.
5) Water heater in the kitchen.
6) Insulation of the large doors.
7) Curtain between courts should be kept.
8) Built in cupboards - should be able to store posts
9) Ask for timescale.
Spencer will write a letter to the council to outline what we would like from the refurbishment and to find out when the barn is likely to close and for how long.
Moving to another location.
It was agreed that the Blue School. looks the best price/facilities/flexibility. We agreed that we would try the blue school if possible when/if the barn closes.
Hugh to discuss with Matt at the Blue the possibility of (a) trialing and (b) if they could let us move to a different night c) can we start with 2 and increase gradually.
For now, it was agreed that we would stick with where we are until we get more information about when the barn will close.
It was agreed that Fees for 2009/10 will be as follows:
Annual Fees (1 September - 31 Augent) : £100
Winter Fees (1 September - 1 April) : £80
Visitors Fees: £4
Match Fees: £3
Should the accounts be audited? We all agreed not to do this.
There will be a running total book, where everybody will take Fees, write them in the book and pass to the Treasurer.
It was considered a good idea to have a friendly match. Spencer will organise a friendly match after next year's fixtures are set.
Howard will organise an intraclub handicap cup.
We have had our First wedding in the club. Congratulations Chris and Hugh.
