Rep Report

Congratulations to Jim for being instrumental in resolving the Rotherham Pizza Hut parking problem. The Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) have spoken to Pizza Hut and Pizza Hut are currently looking elsewhere to park their mopeds leaving the secure parking bay free to use.

At this time the Trial is still ongoing. The Sheffield City Council has yet to meet and discuses whether the scheme was a success or not. It seems that they are waiting on other components of the Plan 4 Sheffield scheme to come to fruition and they will all be discussed together. A letter has gone to the Planning and Transport Officer in Sheffield with our (MAG's) views on the Abbeydale Bus lane trial. It explains that we view the trial as a success and would like to see it extended city wide. This letter will be presented to the next Transport and Planning meeting.

Pete Walker (FYP) would like to know if we would support the Helmsley Parking Amnesty donation money going to the outdoor pool again. (Yes).

Treasurers Report

£30.50 in the pot. A new account has to be set up due to an error by the Bankers. Last years AGC fair pool check was not cashed (Classed as a donation from us to MAG).
Treasurer reiterated the need to raise funds and to that end Vanessa Faetz was proposed by Andrew Timms and seconded by Lucie Burgar for the previously un held position of Social Secretary. A vote was taken and Vanessa was in by Majority. Expect lots of fund raisers this coming year!

Guest Speaker (Jane Chisholm, Yorkshire Regional Rep)

Statutory Off Road Notification (S.O.R.N). - The ruling saying any vehicle older than 1998 didn't need SORN has been repealed. As of July, if a vehicle hasn't been taxed or had SORN applied for the registration plate may be re-issued or the Q plate taken away.
Green Lane issues have gone before the House of Commons but have stalled.
MAG Matrix. The structure of MAG has been altered to cover all jobs. Alan Wooley (Sheffield) has taken on the National Clubs Liaison position, Steve Travis (Wakefield) has taken the Network Communications position and Elaine Hardy has been appointed as the National Research Officer. Trevor (Superted) Baird is still the Public Relations Officer. Communications Officer for MBNA is still vacant.
Neil Liversidge has volunteered to dedicate a limited amount of days to take on the Commercial and Business Officers position. This is a paid position in MAG and to avoid any 'conflict of interest' Neil has resigned as a Director of MAG.
