2021 AGM for Hawkhurst U3A
Because of the coronavirus pandemic the Committee of Hawkhurst U3A has decided to hold a virtual AGM again this year. We have taken advice from U3A National Office, and taken Charity law into account.
The AGM will be held on Thursday 16 September. Emails have been sent to all members with the following - Agenda, Minutes of the last AGM in 2020, The Chairman’s Report, The Treasurer’s Report and the Accounts, Nominations for Committee, Revised Constitution with changes highlighted.
To give you time to raise queries or suggest proposals to be considered by the AGM you have until 12:00 noon on Wednesday 18 August to contact us. After this date we will ask you to vote (by email/post) on these items just as you would at a normal AGM. We will send you details of how to do so at that time. If you have any queries about this procedure, or wish to raise any questions about the AGM or these reports, or to make a proposal, please contact me by phone or email.
