      (In summary)<\/p>\n

      Tudor Squares continues to be one of the largest square dance clubs in the country.<\/p>\n

      However the club should not be complacent because of the effects of Covid-19, which is causing major concerns regarding the health of the club.<\/p>\n

      a) Special mention was given to Michael Ginger and Maureen Flint who passed away in 2020, both of whom were long standing and valued members of Tudor Squares.<\/p>\n

      b) Mention should also be made of the deaths of Una Jeffery and Irene Dimmer who were founder members of the club, Irene was a Basic\/MS caller from 1982 – 2010. ( information added after the AGM)<\/p>\n

      c) Thanks to Elena, who has stepped down as Plus Rep. All the committee members were thanked for their work and support this year.<\/p>\n

      d) Thanks were given to our Callers Phil, Debbie and Becca Peel, Simon and Trudy Fielding, Simon and Susie Kelly, Andrew Agathangelou<\/p>\n

      5. Treasurer\u2019s Report<\/strong>
