Thank you all for coming.
You may or may not be aware the Committee held a meeting during the summer.
Tuesday 9th July 2024 19.30hrs - the minutes of which are online.
Jack & Jill, Scaling Dam -
A quick summary of what was discussed in italic with interactions from the meeting 27/08/2024 in brackets [ ]:-
1) Hook, Line & Sinker has now closed (Malcom & Paula are retiring & had given notice 6 weeks prior).
There were concerns with there being no tackle shop in Whitby where would we (WSAA) sell Open tickets.
Coincidentally on the same day as the meeting, a Hook, Line and Sinker FBk post 09/07/2024 revealed that Black Swan Shoppe, 35, Baxtergate was taking over from Wed 10th July.
Did anyone know who owns the shop so we (WSAA) could approach for selling Open tickets etc?
Dave Perrett said he knew Mark, and volunteered to make further enquiries and report back. [Brian Harland confirmed they would gladly sell tickets, however there may be a problem as the shop does not open until after 9am on a Sunday - re Open ticket sales.]
Discussion for ticket sales continued with proposals for members to buy theirs through the Club from Peter & Dave.
Peter Horbury to also look into internet sales. [On reflection Dave Perrett commented that this would be problematical using personal backing accounts etc. Steve Ingleston informed the meeting that a lot of Open ticket sales are done online.]
2) Peter Horbury issued all with an email from Ian Bowell, Sea Angler, dated 9th July 2024 11.02hrs:
Summary - email reads
All matches which are registered for the PSL take 50p or even better £1 per angler per match out of the prize fund and donate this specifically to the young anglers who are representing their countries and home and world events? It’s not compulsory, you would be doing this voluntary, adding this to the legitimate expenses of running a match. I need to be clear; this is to support all nations not just one. Whilst I’d like all our anglers to receive support, I/we think the greatest need is for our young anglers to get this support first.
I would be happy to collate the funds, produce monthly accounts and distribute to the relevant home nations managers. If I were to do this then the accounts would need to be audited by an independent person so everything was transparent. I must stress whilst it would be fantastic to support every angler representing their country, I think it prudent to walk before we run, start with the juniors and see where we go?
Regards Ian Bowell, & George Smith
The Committee, for the time being, decided not to take part.
3) 2023 Open at Whitby Rifle Club - Feedback
Members reported that the new venue had been well received, parking was excellent, the venue was excellent, presentation of Prizes, both match & raffle was well visible.
Raffle ticket sales, by Mrs Horbury was from a central desk, and better than walking around with a pint pot.
The turnaround from match end to presentation was quicker, and the presentation and subsequently raffle ticket announcements could be heard.
The Rifle Club have since offered us an indoor weigh-in room for next season, so there should be no need for a gazebo.
Food, again was considered not necessary, but open to review.
4) Bernard Vasey has officially resigned from the Committee, and as weigh-master.
Weigh-in times were discussed so as not to make any 'one' Committee member liable to stop fishing early in order to open the scales at 22.00hrs.
Proposed Jason Ebison, seconded Peter Horbury:- Weigh-in 22.15 - 22.30hrs. Carried.
1st member back to collect the scales from the Fleece cellar and set up in readiness for a weigh-master or Committee member.
Having lost Bernard as a valued Committee member, potential replacements were discussed, and hopefully a volunteer would be found/suggested before the AGM 27th August 2024.
There was discussion re more Committee members helping with the weigh-ins, and clean-up - commitments were made.
5) Heaviest Fish caught out of Competition rules.
The wording of the rules to be amended to included ‘out of club hours'.
Proposed Jason Ebison, seconded William Atkinson - Carried.
6) Open.
Allegedly there was a report of unwanted fish being deposited in public litter bins, despite Open Rules asking for 'all fish to be taken home'.
Q? How to police, and what, if any, is wrong, as it’s a public litter bin?
Jason Ebison to report back. [Jason had forgotten, so needed to report back in the future.]
-----------------------------------
In other news, a big thank you to Steve Ingleston who has secured £400 sponsorship for our Open.
-----------------------------------
Open match confirmed for Penn points.

Peter Horbury would continue to organise should no one else wish to take over?
No volunteers - Peter to continue, as before money paid in full £24 for both HBoFish & HFish unless just HFish, then £12.
Any Other Business
A) - Re assess whiting size to give members something to fish for when times are hard, and fish are scarce - always a hot potato. Dave Perrett recounted how he thought/knew some old members had not re-joined due to the whiting size.
Currently 33cm - proposing a size of 30cm.
P Horbury 21st March 2024
Two motions were voted on:
Denis Thompson proposed 32cm & Jason Ebison proposed 31cm.
Members voted 4 to 3 for a whiting size of 31cm
Carried
Dylan Goldsmith proposed that rocklings are banned.
Seconded Neil Eglon.
This fell flat and no one voted - Not carried.
B) - Officials' Presentation meals to be subsidised £10.00 from Club funds, as a 'thank-you' for their seasons work.
P Horbury 21st March 2024
Dave Perrett demonstrated with old accounts and conformation from Chairman William Atkinson that this was the case in the past. Having been forgotten about it was best to put it to the meeting.

D) - Secretary’s Challenge Trophy - WSAA to set date
E) - Jason Ebison would take on Weigh-master duties but insisted the ‘heaviest fish first’ is done by all members. This stops/helps as all smaller fish have to be removed from the pan and the weigh-in re-started. Very frustrating.
Agreed.
F) - Back to the Open - time allowed.
Tickets back to £20.00, with £5.00 to the Superpool
Steve Ingleston asked that the £400.00 he had secured be used accordingly
