The groups AGM took place on Saturday 16th November. Officers were reelected en-bloc:
Chairperson/Group Controller/Secretary: G1SCQ.
Vice Chair & Technical Officer: G4OKH.
Treasurer: M3MPD.
There was a good turnout of members with various topics discussed. These included bank account charges, a redefined mission statement, exercise focus, Whats App alert groups and long service certificates for G1SCQ (40 years) and G4RB (15 years).
Thank you to all the members that were able to assist at this event. We ran a good net on 2m with coverage easily on 5W from the control location.
Just over 200 riders took part on a cool but at times sunny day. A couple of riders decided to come off their horses but thankfully no major injuries.

Thanks to all group members that were able or on standby, to assist with the operations relating to the recent high tides.
In the end the Environment Agencies forecasting bought the initial flood warnings down to flood alerts on both the Fri AM and Fri PM tides. This did not trigger the planned precautionary evacuation in the Hunstanton, Heacham & Snettisham areas.
The forecasting was absolutely spot on for this part of our coast and although damaged in parts, the defences stopped serious flooding issues. Further tides in this current series of tides are not expected to cause a problem.
