The HRSR held their Annual General Meeting on Sunday 21st November in the Mulberry Room of the Crossroads Hotel, Weedon, attended by more than 60 members and friends.

At the AGM Bob Sherring and Graeme Dodd resigned from their Chairman and HSCC representative positions and both of these were taken on by Peter Hore.

Otherwise, the committee was re-elected and now consists of Peter Hore, Dan Cox, Jo Gomm, Les Ely, Adrian Oliver and Peter Wray, who continues as treasurer and membership secretary.

The members heard a very upbeat Season’s Review, with 2010 grids averaging 30+. The finances are in a sound state, and thanks here are due to our longtime sponsor, ByBox.

The Technical Regulations were discussed, including debate over minimum weights, but remain unchanged for 2011. Post meeting it was found that Dunlop are making a wet weather version of the CR65 control tyre available, but the committee have decided not to burden competitors with the cost of having an extra set of wheels and tyres (let alone the decision about when to use them!) so the regulations will now specify 204 compound only.

The HSCC were represented by Grahame White, who elaborated on the provisional 2011 race calendar and explained how track time, particularly with respect to double-headers/longer races might be apportioned.

After the AGM we all gathered in the Pines Room for the awards presentation.

Bob Sherring, now joint honorary president alongside Christina Maskell, received an inscribed hip flask recognising his contribution to the HRSR over the last 25 years (and some brandy to keep out the winter chill!).

The awards were presented by Christina Maskell and Grahame White and were followed by a buffet lunch.
