Our AGM is usually held in May or June. AGM business usually includes the appointment of the Officers and Committee Members; the Committee Chairs provide an update of activity and progress in the past year, and the annual accounts are presented (after examination by an independent auditor). The AGM is often followed by a talk then a buffet and drinks are served. All Members are invited to the AGM.
The 2020 AGM on Tuesday 18 May 2020 was postponed due to the covid – 19 outbreak. It will now be held online (via Zoom) on Monday 22 March 2021.
