15 August 2024

President Jim Lindner called the meeting to order at 6:45pm.
Approximately 55 members were present.

Minutes of Last Meeting

Minutes of Annual General Membership meeting held 23 September 2023 were approved.

Treasurer’s Report 

In summary the club is in a good position financially with a profit for each of the past few years. The membership dues only cover the cost of publishing and distributing the newsletter, so it is important that the yearly United generates additional income.

Membership Report 

The Club currently has 525 memberships. The payment processing service Stripe is now being used instead of PayPal – their rates are better.

Webmaster Report

To reduce the mailing costs for the Rootes Review newsletter there was some consideration given to mailing the printed version only every two months, but the Board ultimately decided not to do this.

Kerch is looking for members to provide unique content for future newsletters. ‘How I Got Involved in Rootes Cars’, ‘Rootes on The Road’, and ‘My Other Classic Car(s)’ are topics of interest. She thanked the Regional Representatives for their regular articles.

Jim noted the posts and responses on the website Forum have recently increased, and expressed his appreciation for member’s participation.

Facebook Report

The Club Facebook page has almost 2,000 members worldwide, and Club members contributions are greatly appreciated. Many users are not club members although Jim regularly requests people join the Club. The August 2024 Rootes Review will be posted there to provide more insight into Club activities. 

OLD BUSINESS 

3 Year Plan

Only three items remain to be completed on the 3 Year Plan initiative. 

• The first item is Bylaw revisions – to create two more Director positions for a total of nine, and to create a Procedures Manual on ‘how to do things’ which will be separate from the Club Bylaws which will define ‘what needs to be done’. A motion made and seconded to accept the revised bylaws. It was unanimously approved.
• The second item is revisions to management of the TAC Program – this remains to be done.
• The third item is Club Regalia and finding a service provider to manage it for the Club. Kerch has investigated Redbubble with whom she has had some good experiences, and will continue to pursue this initiative.

2024 Elections 

There have been numerous nominations for the Director positions and there are nominations for the Treasurer position, but there are none for the President nor Vice President positions. Jim called for nominations from the floor but none were made. Nominations will remain open until 1 November 2024.

Jim reiterated to the audience of the importance of the President position, and stated how much he enjoyed being President and being the face of the Club. It also provides an opportunity to set the strategic direction of the Club and start new initiatives in support of that direction. He highly encouraged someone to take it on, supported by five other past presidents who were in attendance.

United 42

The Board has approved Charlotte, North Carolina as the location for United 42, to take place 18-21 September 2025. The Embassy Suites hotel will be the venue, and there are lots of interesting local attractions to visit. Planning is underway.

SUNI VIII

Planning continues for the next SUNI event in 2026.

Rootes Archive Donation 

Donations will be solicited at the banquet and a check sent to The Rootes Archive from TEAE.

Banners 

The Board is looking into purchasing banners incorporating the new Club logo.

Adjournment 

The meeting adjourned at 7:35pm.

The TEAE Annual General Meeting for 2023 was held on 15 September 2023 during United 40, with approximately 100 Club members attending. The meeting was chaired by President Jim Lindner and commenced at 6:30pm.

The following notes summarize the main highlights and provide some additional information.

Tiger 60^th Anniversary Video Production

A trailer for a video production being undertaken on the Tiger in celebration of its 60^th anniversary​‌. Filming was shown. The production team is looking for additional funding of $31k to complete the editing and packaging of the film. The fundraising is being done on Kickstarter. TEAE members were urged to donate.

Rootes Archive Center

Roger Plaskett provided an update on RAC activities and solicited donations from TEAE members. He noted that the RAC has been rebranded at Rootes Heritage.

Treasurer’s Report (Slide 5)

Treasurer Steve Murphy prepared a 5 year summary of the Club finances, demonstrating the Club’s finances are healthy. The main point to note is the membership fees still continue to only cover the mailing costs of the monthly newsletter – any operating profit is generated by the United gathering. (Slide 5 shows the current balance held by the club under 2023 Ending balance. This does not include the majority of the United 40 expenses which still need to be paid).

Membership Report (Slide 6)

Club membership remains steady at slightly over 500 members. Jim stated he had tried to recruit into TEAE the couple dozen members of the Colorado Association of Tiger Owners, to have them form the nucleus of the TEAE Rocky Mountain Region. They considered the proposal but ultimately declined it.

Members are reminded to ensure their e-mail address is current in the Club database.

Webmaster Report (Slide 12)

As part of the Webmaster report Kerch McConlogue stated the Club will now charge a small fee for fulfilling requests for newsletter back issues.

Facebook Report (Slide 13)

The Club’s Facebook presence continues to grow with over 1,000 active users – it is giving good, worldwide exposure to the Club. One disadvantage of the platform is that information and answers to questions become difficult to find after 24 hours.

Three Year Business Plan Committee (Slides 15-21)

A committee entitled the Three Year Business Plan Committee has been created to study and implement new procedures and activities for the Club to better support the Rootes marque in North America. The following updates were provided on several initiatives that have already been started:

Forums and Facebook – The Forum has been cleaned up, and Facebook has had additional administrators appointed. The Club leadership has been more active in monitoring both platforms to ensure any postings requiring a response are answered in a timely fashion.

Legacy Awards – Two of the three annual legacy awards require autocross participation. As autocross no longer appears to be a widely popular activity, the qualification criteria of these awards will be reviewed and potentially amended.

Bylaw Revisions and Procedures Manual – The intent of this initiative is to streamline the Bylaws to remove procedural/transactional – type information for Club operations and embody it in a procedures manual. This will streamline the management of transacting Club business as official deliberation and voting by the Club Board will not be required to change ‘how’ our business is transacted.

TAC Program Improvements – There are now several new qualified TAC inspectors in the Eastern US and Canada, but there are still improvements that could be made to the TAC program.

Club Regalia – Rather than stocking inventory of Club regalia (hats, t-shirts, etc), a vendor is being sought who can create and provide these items as they are ordered.

BASH (Bring A Sunbeam Here) Promotion – Regional reps will organize local events around the theme of ‘Bring A Sunbeam Here’. The intent is to bring a better focus to Rootes owners and what they are doing.

2024 Board Elections (Slide 22)

A new slate of officers needs to be elected for 2024. All the current incumbents have volunteered to continue in their positions and were nominated at the annual board meeting, but the position of President will require a new nominee, in accordance with the Club bylaws, since Jim has reached his term limit. A call for nominations was made for all officer positions and one board position. There was one nomination from the floor for a Board Director, Richard Fritz nominating Brian Baum. No nominations were received for any of the officer positions.

Jim reviewed the timeline for nominations and the election and advised that anyone wanting to run can still do so by contacting him or the Membership Chairperson.

United 41 (Slides 23-26) 

The next United is now set for West Lebanon, New Hampshire August 15-18, 2024. The main organizer is Robert Jaarsma and much has already been organized, including the host hotel, the concours site, the driving tour, and the autocross.

Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 7:30pm.

Opening Matters

President Pam Jeffers called the annual General Membership Meeting of Tigers East/Alpines East (TEAE) to order at 2:50 p.m. President Jeffers then introduced the Board of Directors (BoD), club officers, and regional representatives present.

Secretary James Lindner read the minutes from the 2015 General Membership Meeting. No changes to the minutes were made and the minutes were accepted as read.

Treasurer Report: Treasurer Barb Geshke reported financial reports are published in the Rootes Review quarterly. At the end of 2015 the club had a balance of $22,715.16. At the end of August the club’s balance was $38,244.94. This amount is higher than normal because of United XXXIV funds deposited and expenses yet to be paid. Overall, the club is very solvent and this year’s United should at least break even.

Membership Report: Chairperson Joe McConlogue provided the following membership information: Total Membership is about 500.  All new and current members were urged to submit current email addresses. Chairman McConlogue briefly discussed current efforts to improve the Member’s Section of the website by creating pages for individual members, which the member could customize. He is hoping to achieve this goal late this year.

Webmaster Report: Chairperson Kerch McConlogue reminded the members about the calendar available on the website. If a member wants to list an event on the website, they just need to fill out the form on the website and the event will be listed on the website and newsletter. Chairperson McConlogue also discussed the RSS feed link on the website. If you sign up you will receive an email notifying you of new content. Simply go to TEAE/getnews and click on the link to Get Updates. When you receive the confirmation email you must respond to it as directed.  

Forum Report: No report—Chairperson Eric Smyder was not present.

Rootes Review Editor Report: No report—Editor Tod Brown was not present. President Jeffers advised that the club is seeking a new editor and asked that anybody interested in becoming editor should contact her.

Publicity: Chairperson Robert Jaarsma had nothing significant to report. President Jeffers reported that Brad Phillips will assume the duties as Publicity Chairperson.

Regalia: Eric Gibeaut reported that all products available online through the site www.fourth-gear-ltd.com are posted on the forum and online at TEAE.org/regalia. Currently, the club is working a deal for fleece jackets that will be available in time for Christmas.

Old Business

Sunbeam Survivor Manual is now scanned and online on the TE/AE website in searchable format.

Rootes Archive Center (RAC): The BOD has approved to continue an annual donation to this worthwhile effort.  Last year the club donated $250.00. This year the BOD will review our budget and possibly increase the donation to $500.00. In January 2016 the club donated an additional $750.00 to the RAC Building Fund. President Jeffers advised that individual donations to the RAC are also possible and members should see the RAC website for additional information.

Future Uniteds:

United XXXVI: Jim Lindner reported next year’s United will be in Staunton, VA and tentatively scheduled for 21-24 September 2017. The Holiday inn in Staunton is being strongly considered as the host hotel. The concours will likely be held in one of the many local parks and the autocross event will run as part of an event conducted by the SCCS Blue Ridge Region. A formal proposal was submitted to the BOD and this plan had been approved.

At this time the members were asked if they prefer t-shirts or golf shirts for next year’s United. Golf shirts were preferred by a small margin. After some additional discussion it was announced both t-shirts and golf shirts will be available next year.

The members were also asked if they would prefer future Uniteds to be a midweek event. The majority of members present prefer a weekend event.

United XXXVII: The North: Initial planning efforts are focused in the New England area

United XXXVIII: The Midwest or possibly SUNI VII.

Club Roster: The new roster has been published and is available on the website in the members section. Twenty-five members received hard-copy and were include in the United Registration packet. If members have any questions about the roster please let the club know.

New Business:

Adoption of Revised Bylaws: President Jeffers announced that the BOD had approved to revise the club’s bylaws and that such a revision required a vote by the membership on two issues: separate the Bylaws from the AOI; and approve the amended Bylaws. A copy of the changes was provided to each member in advance as part of their Registration packet. Kerch McConlogue explained to the membership the reason for the change and the key provisions of the change. Kerch explained that originally the Bylaws and the Articles of Incorporation (AOI) had been written as a single document, requiring a change to the AOI and notification to the State of Virginia whenever the Bylaws were changed—something that has not been done. This revision separates the two documents in addition to four other key changes.

1. Authorizes the Board of Directors to set and collect dues.
2. Authorizes the Newsletter editor to produce and distribute a newsletter.
3. Identifies the role of the treasurer in the production and distribution of the newsletter.
4. Changes the voting process whereby the Membership Chairman (vice the Secretary) collects and tallies the votes and ensures the results are published in the newsletter.

At this point President Jeffers asked if there was a motion to separate the club’s Bylaws from the AOI. Gary Holman so moved and Robert Jaarsma seconded the motion. The motion to separate the AOI from the Bylaws was approved.

President Jeffers asked if there was a motion to approve the amended bylaws. Sy Block so moved and Gary Holman seconded the motion. The motion to accept the amended bylaws passed.

Membership Report:  Curt Hoffman, Membership Chairman gave an update on the club membership. Currently, the club has 506 paid members, 4 lifetime members and 7 courtesy members. Other statistics include: 137 members receive electronic newsletters; 171 cars in the VIN database; and 725 cars are listed as owned by club members although this number is likely inaccurate since regular updates from members are rarely received. The club adds about three members each month, but loses about the same.

Chairman Hoffman then reviewed the VIN Registry Project. He explained the registry is located in the Members Only section of the website and individuals need a separate User ID/password which is assigned by the Membership Chairman. The VIN Registry serves as an excellent historical resource and provides details on cars to include color, engine, modifications etc. Members were encouraged to post their car’s information or update old information.

Chairman Hoffman then reviewed the Electronic roster. He started by stating that the hard copy roster is only updated every two years and is the clubs largest expense. The club is therefore trying to move to an electronic roster, which would be available online and always up to date. Members were encouraged to use the electronic roster.

Curt Hoffman then advised that due to expected travel in the coming year, he would be unable to continue as membership chairman and solicited a replacement from the membership. He then provided a brief overview of the duties, responsibilities and effort required for the position.

SUNI VI: President Jeffers announced that SUNI VI was scheduled for June 29 – July 4 2014 in Colorado Springs, CO. President Jeffers explained the history of SUNI and added that it had not evolved as originally envisioned—a collaborative event involving all Sunbeam Clubs. Currently, the planning, organization, and staging of SUNI events are dominated by a single person. Consequently, TE/AE has decided to hold United gatherings during SUNI years. The 4 year Plan for upcoming TE/AE United gatherings is as follows:

                2014       Boyne Mountain, MI

                2015       Midwest

                2016       South

                2017       Mid-Atlantic

United XXXIII: John Logan Jr. gave an overview of United XXXIII scheduled for Boyne Mtn, MI on 11-14 September 2014. He stated that planning has already started and he solicited volunteers for anybody wanting to help organize and run the event.

President Jeffers then solicited volunteers to begin planning the 2015 Midwest United. Anyone with ideas for that event should contact Midwest Regional Representatives Curt Bowland and Doug Jennings.

Website and Forum Update: President Jeffers introduced Kerch McConlogue the club Webmaster. Ms. McConlogue solicited any questions the membership might have about the website. She then went on to solicit photos from this event. She also solicited feedback from the membership as to what they want from their website.

Eric Smyder, the TE/AE Forum Moderator then reviewed the status of the TE/AE Forum. He stated how features were being added and he solicited feedback from the membership. He also said he is working with moderators for the different sub-forums to promote interaction with visitors to the forum.

President Jeffers asked the membership if anyone could take on a project to make the website’s historical pdf files searchable. Jennifer Arters volunteered.

Newsletter Editor and Webmaster Succession: President Jeffers expressed the need for a succession plan for the newsletter editor and Webmaster, two critical positions within the club. President Jeffers added that the club needs to identify qualified individuals for these positions in advance. She solicited volunteers from the membership.

Open Membership Comments: President Jeffers opened the floor to comments from the membership. Dave Reina, who was responsible for organizing the nominees for the Historic Vehicle Association “This Car Matters Award” reviewed the criteria for the award.

Eric Gibeaut reminded the membership that Club Regalia and Sunbeam Survivor Manuals are available for purchase. Moreover, the club was switching to an online ordering system.
