The Mercury Bay Club (MBC) proudly demonstrated its strength and community spirit at its recent AGM, with an impressive turnout of 166 members. It was a strong show of support for a 10.00am meeting on a Sunday morning, as members gathered to thank the outgoing committee and welcome the new leadership team.

All committee and non-committee roles have been successfully filled, with long-time member Kelvin Conaghan stepping into the role of President. His experience and dedication promise steady leadership and continued growth for the club.

The outgoing committee is also handing over the plans and groundwork they’ve laid for the new carpark and internal building improvements – projects that are expected to take shape over the coming year.

Several key topics were discussed during the meeting to help shape the club’s future direction. Notably, work is underway on a new constitution, designed to modernize the club’s rules and provide greater clarity for all members. A Special General Meeting will be held later in the year to consider its adoption, and members are encouraged to stay tuned for updates.

With engaged members and new leadership, the Mercury Bay Club looks forward to a positive and productive year. Linda Fraser who ably chaired the meeting and who has been President of MBC was thanked by the gathering for her work and leadership.
