Our meetings are friendly, relaxed gatherings where members and visitors can hear about recent and upcoming club activities and ask questions about coming walks that interest you. These days we have AV support for our oral reports and Club information so it should be just as enjoyable as usual.

After the formalities, people catch up over a friendly cuppa and usually home-made edible treats. During this time, nominations for walks are taken. You can ask leaders about their trips and talk with members about their experiences.

During Supper, there’s always the possibility of a digital display of photos from past walks, as our laptop, data projector and screen are already set up ready to display photos. So, members, feel free to bring along a small selection of photos – highlights of recent past walks – on a memory stick to show. Just send me a quick text message to let us know in advance how many photo-selections we’re expecting.

A special item of business: Members will be asked to decide on the Proposal to change the Club’s constitution which was canvassed and discussed at the February and May general meetings. Ordinary, life and honorary members will be asked to vote by secret ballot on constitutional changes to Rules 6 and 13 as a Special Resolution. You will have presently received an email from our Club secretary Susan Tobin detailing the proposed changes to our constitution along with attached copies of the voting form and proxy form for those members who are unable to attend the meeting.

VOTING will take place at this meeting. You do not need to bring a copy of the voting form; voting sheets will be provided.

I urge every member either to attend our August General meeting so that we can achieve a quorum for the decision on our Constitution or alternatively to vote by proxy if you cannot attend.  

Everyone is welcome to this Quarterly General Meeting of the Club. We need 19 for a quorum; please plan to be there on Monday,17^th.
