Apologies D R Branscombe, I F Hay Davison, Dr J A F Spence 1. Approval of the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 28 October 2011, which had been printed in the Yearbook and were available at the meeting, was proposed by the President and carried unanimously. The Minutes were duly signed as a correct record. 2. The Accounts for 2011 were issued to all present and explained by the Hon Treasurer. Referring to the Expenditure Account, Mr Kendall pointed out that the apparent steep rise in the cost of producing the Yearbook in 2011 disguised the fact that the Club had received a refund in 2010 of some £4k from the distributors when it became clear that their distribution had been faulty. He also drew attention to the rise in the portfolio management fee charged by brokers, Williams de Broe, which, combined with the Trustees’ increasing dissatisfaction with the brokers’ quality of service, had led to a decision to change brokers. Following a ‘beauty parade’ involving four potential managers, Brewin Dolphin emerged as the preferred successors. Mr Kendall reported that the investment portfolio was currently showing a 10 month increase of £65,000 from its January 2012 level of £850,000 and was yielding a healthy 5% gross, 4.5% after corporation tax.
