AGM Report – May 2006

As you are probably aware, this year’s AGM had to be deferred as not enough members were present to form a quorum! As per our Constitution,

No item of business shall be transacted unless a quorum of members is present. 15 members personally present constitute a quorum, including a minimum of 4 committee members.

As we only had 11 members in total, the meeting was adjourned to be held in exactly 1 week’s time.

The lack of attendance is quite perplexing as although our AGM’s are usually a low-key affair, this year the committee had organized a First Aid talk by St. Johns in an effort to take some of the boredom out of the event and hopefully coax more members out for this special meeting. But even then we struggled to get a 6^th of our membership present for this most important annual event!

Subsequently, our ‘special’ AGM was held one week later with this time enough members present to enable the election of our committee.

If any member has ideas on how we should tackle this lack of attendance, please drop me a line!
