Yesterday evening Bragdið held its annual general meeting in the large meeting room at the Faroese Confederation of Sports (ÍSF). Turnout was good. Around 25 members attended, and they elected Hilmar Høgenni to chair the meeting. Fríðrikur’s chair’s report was long and thorough. He described the many activities the club puts on day to day, and he was also pleased that membership is growing and now stands at about 350. Treasurer Niels Jákup Jakobsen presented the accounts. They show that Bragdið is also a well-run club in financial terms.
Three board members were up for election. Anna Maria Seloy accepted re-election and has been elected vice-chair, while Michael Feldballe and Niels Jákup Jakobsen did not stand for re-election. In addition, Árna Helmsdal has asked to leave the board before the end of her term. In their place, Ann Thomsen, Sunniva Bjarnastein and Herluf Jacobsen were elected.
The outgoing board members have done a lot of good work for Bragdið. Árna has been at the centre of many events. Michael has led several innovations in timing and is also the man who has managed the new chip timing equipment. He has also managed and updated the membership lists and collected membership fees. Niels Jákup has sat on the board for as long as anyone can remember. He is not going far, though, as he was elected as a substitute member.
The new board members have already shown what they are capable of. Ann and Sunniva have run the club’s women’s training for several years, and Herluf has also developed and strengthened the men’s recreational running.
The new board: From left, Herluf, Anna Maria, Ann, Sunniva, Beinta and Fríðrikur. (Beinta is not part of the board)
