Cambridgeshire 2026 AGM Report

The Cambs 2026 AGM took place on 20 January 2026.  There were only 8 Cambridgeshire members in attendance, including Committee members, which was disappointing.  John Martin (East-Midlands representative) attended along with Kenji.  Thank you to those who attended.

A new Committee was elected for 2026 comprising T Jones (Chair), P Barnard (Vice-Chair), G Thatcher (Treasurer), J Jones (Secretary), L Carter-Gifford, A Taylor.

J Bell, A Oakey and K Flitton  stood down from the Committee and were thanked for their work over the last year.

Keepsake momentos were handed out – to those present at the AGM – to the 2025 Supreme Champions and Championship winners.

Those in bold were present to receive their keepsakes at the AGM

In view of the low turnout of Championship winners attending the AGM to collect their keepsake momentos for 2026 these will be handed out at the actual championship.  They will be engraved with the event and year.

At the AGM it was agreed to reduce the levy to £2 for the 15 Championships being held in 2026.

Holders of trophies from 2025 Championships are reminded to ensure that they take them back on the day of the shoot or arrange to hand them to a committee member before the Championship date if they will not be attending.

The Committee hope that members will support as many of the county championship shoots as possible and look forward to catching up with everyone throughout the year.
