2015 Annual General Meeting

It is that time again where our 2015 AGM is being planned.

This year it will be held in Wellington 21/22 November at the Brentwood Hotel in Kilbirnie.

Unfortunately Elton John is playing in Wellington at the same time so please get your travel and accommodation bookings done ASAP for your delegate.

We will endeavour to get some Wellington Club members to billet delegates if necessary.

In the meantime it is time to get your thinking caps on and have a club meeting to determine if you have any remits to submit to this year's meeting.

The last day for remits for the 2015 AGM is Friday 9th October. Please have your club's remits to me by the end of that day. Late remits will not be accepted. Please also include any nominations for Executive Positions.

Kind regards

Nicky Hamill
