The 2023 AGM, chaired by Master Viv Ross, was held on Friday 10th March. The committee recommended Elliot Henderson as Standard Bearer for 2023 and this was unanimously agreed by all members present. Six new members were admitted to the Company – Michael Potrykus, James Bett, Sue Briggs, Gavin Henderson, Derek Lee and Rory Steel. All of the office bearers and committee members stood for re-election and were approved by the meeting.
Treasurer Judith Thompson reported that the organisation’s finances had recovered well in the aftermath of the pandemic, and that the meeting agreed that the usual grants should be made to the Common Riding Trust, the local schools, the three bands, Scott’s Selkirk and Blooming Selkirk.
Will Anderson, Douglas Hogarth and Ralph Willens were made Honorary Life Members of the Company.
The AGM was followed by the annual Dinner, where a most agreeable evening was enjoyed by members and guests.
