AGM -31st July

On Friday 31 July, just after 7.00pm, outgoing Chairman Billy Ferguson opened proceedings for the 2026 Annual General Meeting.

A good number of members attended, and all voted in favour of the same FoSOC Committee. FoSOC now also has a Vice Chair.

Unfortunately, the Chairman did not break his record of 25 minutes, as there was a great deal to discuss and many questions were raised.

A unanimous vote was taken to appoint FoSOC Co-Founder Geoff Watts as a Vice President. Geoff had been unable to attend due to a prior engagement, but he was aware of the proposal.

He later emailed to say that he was both pleased and delighted.

The FoSOC Committee is as follows:

Chair: Billy Ferguson

Vice Chair: Alan Smith

Secretary: Val Ferguson

Treasurer: Tim Burden

Membership Secretary: Lizzie O’Sullivan

General Committee Member: Vicki Blow

Drinks and chat continued once the meeting had closed.

Thank you to all who attended the meeting and for all members for still supporting FoSOC.
