Hi All,

We will be holding our AGM on 11th November in place of our usual practice (same place though!). We normally bring food and drink (alcohol completely permitted and encouraged) to help the meeting along.

The latest version of the agenda is attached, let me know if you have anything to add/amend - we will have AOB if it is something small. If you are unable to make the meeting, but have Thoughts/Opinions that you would like to contribute, please send them to Becky or me by 5pm on 11th November and we will ensure that they are voiced.

I have attached the minutes from last years AGM, and the EGM from earlier this year. Please read these before the meeting so that we can ratify the AGM minutes from last year. I will bring a list of action points from both meetings so we can run through what has been done / not done / done a bit. Consolidated action points as they stand (not updated in a while, but based on update following our EGM back in April) at the bottom of the email, I'll update these before the AGM

Finally, I've also attached a description of the committee roles, these can change a bit should we think it appropriate.

Any questions, let me know!

Thanks,

Hannah
