Crouch Valley Koi Club AGM
Wednesday 20th January saw the Crouch Valley hold their 2010 AGM at Laindon Community Centre and what an eventful evening I must say, all good of course even if it did end slightly past 11:00pm.
Annual General Meetings don’t always sound as if they are going to fill your evening with fun, but it was nice to see on this on this occasion that the evening went fairly politics free and overall a good night for the 56 members that kindly turned up for the night, so on that note I would like to thank all that attended.

As usual many items are covered at the AGM some of these items are financial matters, information about how the Clubs Auction’s went in 2009 and various other items like plans for the year and keeping Crouch Valley Koi Club up there as top club in 2010.
I think now is a good time to say a big thank you to the Committee for their hard work, thanks to the people that helped in other ways for the club like setting up raffles and merchandise and the equipment for both Auctions and Shows, and not forgetting the members for their time and efforts and continued support of the club.
Thanks!
