a new PA system designed to give clear sound onsite but be non-intrusive
to the neighbours. It will also have a clear message printed on each of the
speaker poles to say ‘Donated by De Laune CC’, to enable people to get to
know who we are again. The agreement will include an additional banner on
the new grandstand, and enable us to meet there regularly for committee
and social meetings.

Under our Memorial Fund rules, any proposal that involves us spending part
of the capital portion of the Fund needs to go through the process of two
General Meetings, with Ordinary and Life members being able to vote by post
too (details in the accompanying Agenda).

I know that some members voiced opposition to this proposal early on, before
all the details were known. The committee and I really want to carry the rest
of the Club with us on this, because we think this is an excellent way to use
what is no more than approx. 10% of our total Fund, and it presents us with
some great opportunities to grow and re-establish ourselves as a Club. If
you have any unanswered questions about it, do please raise them with one
of us.
