Annual General Meeting
Previous Annual General Meeting Minutes
For those who do not know, this is where the club discusses and votes upon how the club is going to be run over the course of the follow year. This covers everything from training and match fees to the election of officers to the committee. The annual general meeting is held in May, traditionally in the Astrobar. Club members will be informed by email once the date of the AGM has been confirmed each year.
The club committee are those members responsible for the day to day running of the club. They meet monthly throughout the season to discuss any issues, organise events and ensure the smooth running of the club. We are always looking to expand the committee as too much has fallen on the shoulders of too few people for a number of years. The club is looking for members to step up and volunteer to help with the running of the club.
With that in mind please take a look at the list of club roles outlined below, the people currently filling that position, and whether they are willing to continue to do so into the next season. If you are interested in putting yourself forward for any of the roles please make yourself known to a member of the current committee and attend the AGM.
IMPORTANT: Just because someone is already willing to fulfil a role on the committee should not discourage anyone from putting themselves forwards. In the instance of more than one volunteer for a position there will be a vote at the AGM. Alternatively, it may be possible to share a role between more than one volunteer.
Additionally, there are roles that are quite involved which may benefit from assistants willing to learn the role with a view to taking it on in the future. So as above, please not only consider what you are willing to do now but what you may be willing to do in the future.
