For the information of everyone the Annual General Meeting will be held on 15th March 2015 at 10:30am in the association hut or poly tunnel.
There are some important issues this year which need decisions being made which will affect you all personally and financially, the AGM is your opportunity, not only to air your views, but to actively vote on the decisions which will be taken. This will be your only opportunity this year to affect the running of the association unless extraordinary general meetings are called. If you don’t attend your views will not count and your ability to decide on these issues won’t either. It is important you attend if you wish to democratically affect the running of YOUR association.
The following items so far are on the agenda for discussion:
- Future Rent Increases – the council will be imposing new rent increases on us next year, however we have some flexibility on how we deal with this as an association, details will be given on how much this will cost you and how this could happen.
- Association Lease and Trustees – There will be further information on the ever looming issue we have over the lease we have with the city council to run our allotments.
- Election Of Committee Members – As we do each year the current committee members will be standing for re-election. Any nominations for election of new members to the committee must be proposed in writing via nomination forms available either from Jackie MEDCALF or the main notice board nearer the time, or downloaded from the link below, and then given to any current committee member by the 1st March 2015 in accordance with the constitution which can be found elsewhere on this site.
- Other items for discussion – If there are items you wish discussed at the AGM which concern you personally please submit them, again, in writing to any member of the committee before the 1st March 2015.
