The ITF England AGM was held on Saturday 27th November 2010 and followed a Heads of Associations meeting held that morning. The severe bad weather experienced by some parts of the country meant that the delegates from TAE were unable to attend in person but Mr. Paul Cook (TAE Chairman) was able to take part via Skype.
One of the key priorities of the AGM was to elect a new Board for ITF England. Nominations were taken by Mr. Graham Patterson as one of his last duties as the outgoing secretary. The following members were elected to serve on the ITF England Board for the next two year term:
President – Mr. Donato Nardizzi
Secretary – Mrs. Patricia Gray
Treasurer – Mr. Ken Chesterman
Technical Director – Mr. Philip Lear
Umpire Chairman – Mr. Nick Symonds
All four of the Associations within ITF England are now represented on the ITF England Board.
Other business at the AGM included a request of support by Mr. Lear for Vision TKD to host the next World Cup in 2012 in Brighton. Unfortunately Brazil, who had initially bid for and won the 2012 hosting, have had to pull out. All associations offered their support for Mr Lear's bid.
At the Heads of Associations meeting, some possible changes to the direction of ITF England were discussed. The aim was to encourage the associations to work more cooperatively and at the same time maintain their independence. The new ITF England Board will be looking at the points discussed at the Heads of Associations meeting and put some proposals forward in the near future.
