The club’s Annual General Meeting takes place on Thursday July 9th at 7:30 at the club.

The plan is to hold it outside to ensure social distancing requirements are adhered to and will depend on the relaxation of social distancing regulations anticipated for July 4th and the weather, of course. If we are unable to meet in person then a cut-down AGM will be held via Zoom.

The Agenda for the meeting is:
1. Welcome and Apologies
2. Confirm the Minutes of the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
3. Receive reports presented by the President and the Chairman.
4. Receive the Report of the Treasurer and the Audited Accounts.
5. To elect the President for next season
6. To elect those Officers and Chairmen of the Club as required by the Constitution and Rules of the Club.
7. To appoint Auditors for next season
8. To set the level of Subscriptions for next season
9. Amendment to the Rules of the Club.
10. Any Other Business.
11. Date of next AGM

In the event that the meeting has to be held “virtually” the following abbreviated agenda will be followed and then an Extraordinary General Meeting held when face-to-face meetings can be held indoors to ratify decisions made at the AGM and cover the items not discussed at the AGM:
1. Welcome and Apologies
2. To elect the President for next season
3. To elect those Officers and Chairmen of the Club as required by the Constitution and Rules of the Club.
4. To appoint Auditors for next season
5. To set the level of Subscriptions for next season
6. Provisional date of EGM
7. Date of 2021 AGM

The Constitution and Rules of the Club require the AGM to be held by the end of July so postponing the AGM until later is not an option.

ONLY FULL MEMBERS CAN VOTE AT THE AGM. TO ENSURE YOU ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETING PLEASE EMAIL YOUR INTENTIONS TO SECRETARY DAVE.FOX@BLUEYONDER.CO.UK.

Documents relating to the AGM will be sent to you at that email address a week or so before the meeting.
