The next annual dinner date was set as 12th March 2005, put it in your diary now so there's no excuse for you not coming along and enjoying yourself.

During the AOB section, Andy Hart raised the issue of the format of the close-up competition not suiting the style of magic. Therefore the close-up on April 22nd will adopt a new style. Make sure you're there so you can vote and offer your views and maybe even take part, go on you know you want to!

As the AGM came to a close Mark told us all about Tommy Thompson who unfortunately died recently. Tommy's relatives had contacted Mark and told him that it was Tommy's wish for his Magic collection to go to local magic clubs. Therefore Mark closed the evening with the first of a couple of auctions. From the 20 items offered £78.50 was raised. The money from Tommy's collection will go toward the restoration of some of the clubs trophies and possibly a new trophy in his name.
