1. David Garnett took the Chair and welcomed members to the AGM.
2. The minutes of the 2022 AGM had been circulated and were agreed.
3. The Chairman reviewed the past year as one of well-attended meetings with good speakers and some good walks and visits. The website was well stocked and the Magazine much enjoyed. Membership had reached 166 and over 100 members had already renewed for 2023. He thanked them for their support and thanked all Committee members for all their work during the past two years.
4. Stephen Abbott then presented the Annual Accounts for 2022, audited by C Hawes ACMA. (these also showed the account for 2021) Subscriptions collected in 2022 were up, at £1,295, with another £126 in admissions.

There were no questions and the financial report was accepted with thanks.
