2011/2012 AGM & Windup

Limited Sprintcar Association of WA AGM & Windup was been run & done.

Yesterday Saturday 26^th May 2012 was the date for the occasion.

Well there was a great turnout to the AGM in Forrestfield. Much appreciated to all that made the time to come & thanks to all of you that put in your apologies.

Now feathers were ruffled, discussions were endless but the job was eventually done. With all but a few motions being addressed (this being as they were squashed in prior motions) & decided upon.

There was a big change made in the committee members for the 2012/2013 season.

Martin Laughton once again was a unanimous vote for Club President.

Shane Webster happily handed over the Vice President’s role to Chris Dicker.

Michelle Christensen’s position of Secretary was up for the taking with not a hand in sight to take over the spot so we moved on with hope that it would be filled soon.

Lilian Moreton who has been with the club for a lot of years decided it was time to hand over the reins of Treasurer – Debbie Wilson & Vanessa Armstrong put their hands up to do the job. After a little discussion & deliberation it was decided that Vanessa Armstrong was to become the new Treasurer with Debbie Wilson upping the stakes & taking on the new role of Secretary.

Committee Members have expanded to 4 with Mike Armstrong, Jason Craig, Mick Doble & Sue Wojtanowski taking up the challenge.

Technical Officer once again was taken by Gavin Davis.

Chief Stewards are the same with Peter Moreton & Martin Laughton staying put.

Handicapper is once again done by Peter Moreton.

Driver’s Reps are Mike Armstrong, Jason Craig & Mick Doble.

And a new role of Sponsors Committee has been made up of Martin Laughton, Steve Crabbe & Chris Dicker.

Apologies if I have missed anyone out. Congratulations to everyone on your new roles & we wish Lilian & Michelle all the best & THANKYOU for all your endless help & commitment to the club over the years.

A well earned beverage was had by everyone at the end of it with the gardens at the Rose & Crown being a popular choice. Relaxed discussions of Sprintcars & racing were had with the World of Outlaws in the US being a hot topic as well.

The Windup itself was a fantastic night. This as you all know was held at the Rose & Crown in Guildford. The room was setup nice, the food was fantastic & the atmosphere was alive all night. A big thanks to Shane Webster & his brother Matt for having a slide show of cars, crew, thrills & spills throughout the season on display for all to enjoy. Thanks to Stanley Trescuri, Peter French & Richard Hathaway for suppling these for use. Stanley Trescuri was still in photographer mode and was taking some great shots of the night for all to enjoy.

Trophy Time & all was hush.

 1^st on the agenda was handing out the replicas for the 2010/2011 winners. Club Champion – Annette Crabbe, Feature Race Wins – Chris Ackland, Rookie of the Year – Annette Crabbe, Most Improved – Shane Maskell & Club Person – Sue Wojtanowski.

Now for the 2011/2012 Trophy Winners 7 they are
