In the absence of our chairman, Clive Tyler, vice chairperson, Alex Johnson, stepped in and did an excellent job of handling the 2017 AGM. Reluctantly Clive will step down as chairman as he is currently in Johannesburg with his wife who sadly requires frail care after a stroke last year.
Enough members attended - 21 present and various proxies received - to pass the usual motions and mention was made of needing to amend the constitution as the current work was penned at a time when the FHAS had many, many more members. This will be on the agenda later in the year and with the new committee - essentially the same as the old one with two new members, Cynthia and Maureen. And very welcome they will be.
Sue Green gave the financial report - not a very healthy one, unfortunately - and secretary Ann took notes. We need more artists, more members!!!
THE MORE MEMBERS WE HAVE THE MORE EXCITING OUR EVENTS WILL BE ABLE TO COME.
The AGM notes will be circulated later for all members of the Society.

After the business was terminated, there was time for a glass of something (wine or juice) and some nibbles which Ann had so kindly brought.
Next it was the art history quiz devised to stretch the mind. Most people correctly answered over half the questions and the winning couple were Karen and Els. The prize gifts comprised automated pencil sharpeners and more. Much appreciated by the artists!
To round off the evening, John S gave us a hilarious impression of Donald Trump. We were a little lost as to the relevance of this to the AGM but it was a very amusing ending to a pleasant evening.
