SECRETARY and DELEGATE’S REPORT I, along with Banks Peninsula Branch Delegate, South Island Club Captain and some members of the National committee attended the Executive meeting at National Office on 12th March held by zoom around the country. There were a number of branches unable to log in which was disappointing. It was an interesting exercise and extremely well run by our President Diane Quarrie. Personally I am not in favour of the zoom style of meeting with this number of attendees as I feel it lacks the personal interaction and discussion between the members during breaks, although in these times of covid probably the best option.

Logo Voting. The President called all branches individually to state their branch’s preference and the result was quite strongly against the change. As a result of Canterbury’s in house vote, Canterbury voted against.

Remit: On Branches being able to change their name to reflect the range of vehicles. (Remit withdrawn) Branches can already use a marketing name subject to the Club’s approval but must not include this in the wording of the Name of the Club which must remain as is.

Proposed Notice of Motion Club and Branch Names: Referred back to proposer and seconder.

Suggestion to Branches: To suggest a Valuer (to get some consistency.)

People will still be able to join though the Branch Secretary, but for the younger jet set they will be able to join instantly on line and 7
