Posted on by

We are planning to hold this year’s AGM at the club on Friday September 8, starting at 7:00pm. Please put this important date in your diary. More information will be provided closer to the time, including how to nominate a proxy if you are unable to attend, nominate for the General Committee, and access the approved financials for the last financial year.

The AGM is where the General Committee provides an update on how the club is going and plans for the new year and beyond, and gives members an opportunity to give feedback and ask questions.

The AGM also appoints the new committee. If you are interested in considering a role on the committee, please contact anyone on the committee or Amanda for a chat.  

Membership categories that are allowed to vote at the AGM, and nominate for the GC, are senior members, family senior and their family partner, student members, and life members.

Notice of Annual General Meeting
 
The Annual General Meeting of Elwood Sailing Club Inc. will be held at the clubhouse on Friday September 2, from 7.00 – 9:00 pm.
 
Please note the change in location: previous advise was that the meeting would be held online as a zoom meeting only, but we have decided to hold the meeting at the clubhouse. This will allow better interaction between members, and allow us to run more easily the secret ballot which will be required due to the number of members nominating for the General Committee.
 
This Notice contains information on the meeting and what you need to do if you wish to attend or nominate a proxy, or nominate for the General Committee.
 
AGM Attendance and Proxy Form
 
To attend and vote at the AGM you must be a current financial member. Senior, Family Senior, Family Partner, Life, and Junior members are entitled to vote at the meeting; Associate Members are not.
 
If you do not plan to attend the meeting and are entitled to vote you may appoint another member as your proxy using an AGM Proxy Form (click for link). Please email your proxy to secretary@elwoodsc.com , or hand or send by mail to the manager.
