Chair's Message re: Upcoming AGM in June '24

In two months’ time, we have our AGM when it is time to vote in our new committee for the forthcoming year. I am aware that the majority of the present committee are putting themselves forward for reselection but, two of our current committee are standing down and therefore, there will definitely be vacancies. Within the next few days, the majority of you will receive a nomination form for election to the committee by email. Please give this some thought and remember that our Churchdown u3a would not exist without a committee to run it. From personal experience I can confirm that committee membership is certainly not a chore, and it is a great opportunity for you to have a say in the running and direction that our Churchdown u3a will have in the future. Ideally this form is required to be completed and forwarded to the secretary by our May meeting on Wednesday, 15th May 2024. However, as a dispensation, applications will be allowed at the AGM itself in June but, to assist the present committee it is preferable that applications are submitted by the May meeting.

Robbie Philips
Chair
