The Secretary, Pat Denzler, reviewed the past 12 months and thanked many people for making the past year a success as we continue to develop the awareness of the golfing heritage that is Leith Links. Our treasurer Robin Morris presented the Accounts and reported a small surplus for the year. He referred to the Awards for All grant we had received for the development of the play [more] and also that the Special Projects fund, whilst sound, would require boosted to meet the plans that the Society has for further development of our aims.

		After the close of the formal business, we were delighted to have a presentation made by one of our recent members, Puneet Sachdev. Puneet talked about the development of his own company which is being set up to develop golfing and special interest tours from the UK to India and will bring golfers from India to play in Scotland. A link to this venture can be found in our Links section.

		The existing Committee was re-elected, though additional support and help from the members would be welcomed.
