The AGM is scheduled to be held on Wednesday 30th November in the Band Hall (next door to the Narraghmore Credit Union) in Narraghmore, County Kildare.
We aim to start at 20:00 (8 PM) and the meeting should last roughly 90 minutes. This will be the first ‘formal’ meeting of the Club and so we will discussing (and voting on!) a number of topics that would not usually be covered in detail. Please can you advise Tim Pullen via email or phone whether you will be attending as we will be providing food, drink and oxygen on the evening. If there are specific items that you would like to see discussed during the AGM please let Tim Pullen know as early as possible so that he can update the agenda.
Please note that as we are registering with the Revenue Commissioners as a not for profit organisation we are obliged to ensure that we have transparency in the goverance, finance and operations of the Association.
The AGM will be chaired by Seamus Buggle (Chairman). The current ‘interim’ Officials to resign and offer to stand again for 2017. Any member who wishes to stand for any role or volunteer for any activity/position should advise the Secretary in advance. All are welcome as there is more than enough work to be done to move the Club forward!
