AGM Postponed!

Our Administrative Group has taken the decision to postpone our AGM, originally planned for tomorrow evening (1st May).

There are two reasons for this.

  • Firstly, due to other (particularly work) commitments on the part of the Administrative Group, we’re only just now finalising our reports. This would have meant presenting reports for the first time at the meeting and we felt that this would not provide members the time to provide the scrutiny they may need.
  • Secondly, we have begun to receive a large number of apologies, especially from some of our most active members. It would be a shame not to have as many people there as can make it, as this is one particular time in the year we can use for reflection, feedback and ideas to move Transition New Mills on.

We didn’t take this decision lightly and we’re really sorry about this, especially if people have had to rearrange other commitments to be able to attend.

We’ll announce a new date for the meeting (and circulate reports) very soon.

It’s time once again for our Annual General Meeting. This year’s meeting will be held at 7.45pm, Thursday 1st May in the Council Chamber Room, New Mills Town Hall. The meeting will finish no later than 9pm. An agenda is attached.

Please do try to come along if you can. Everyone is welcome but you can only vote if you’re a member (although you will be able to join on the night). Note that renewals of membership for the coming year are now due and you can pay at the AGM.

The Steering Group isn’t proposing any changes to our constitution this year but if you wish to propose any, please let us know in advance so that we can make sure time is given to discuss and vote on them.

The AGM is also the time to elect people to manage and facilitate activities for the group. We have an Administrative Group of 3 people (currently Julian Ashworth, Mike Daw and Angharad Hughes). If you would like to nominate yourself for this group, please let us know. We can take nominations up to one hour before the meeting. If you’d like to discuss a possible nomination, please do get in touch and one of us will be happy to talk with you about what’s involved. Note that we’ll be asking each of the candidates to say a few words about themselves before holding the vote so, if you are nominating yourself, please come prepared.

We hope to see you there!

Regards, Julian, Mike, Angharad
