[8 March 2010]
Club Meeting – Annual General Meeting
WHEN:Wednesday, 24 March
TIME: 8:00pm
WHERE: Canterbury Sports Ground Pavilion, cnr Chatham & Guildford Rds., Canterbury. Melway 46, F10
COST: Free
BOOKING: Not required
CONTACT: Ted Cross, 04 0059 2208

Yes, it is that time of the year again – the Annual General Meeting is rolling around again.
Every year the Committee exhorts you to come along to this important event, and every year we manage to have sufficient members attend to assure us of a quorum. Remember, if we do not get a quorum, we simply have to go through the whole thing again. So, please make the effort to come along.

Volunteer! Have you thought of standing for Committee? All Committee positions are ‘up for grabs’. Nomination forms have been included with 'Front Drive' and must be returned to the Secretary seven [7] days prior to the AGM.

On a personal note from the Editor, being on the Committee is not an onerous job – Committee meetings occur once a month [except December] and are typically finished within an hour. Then it is out for a bite to eat and a chance to catch up on the social stuff. The Club can only continue to prosper if the members take up the challenge of making the Club what you want it to be.

Vote! Voting for the 2010/2011 Committee is a very important right you have as a member of CCOCA. So, come along and make sure you have your input. Or complete the ‘Proxy Form’ that is in ‘Front Drive’. Proxy Forms must be in the hands of the Secretary at least seven [7] days prior to the AGM.

At Rayner's Stone-fruit Orchard we will find fruit unlike anything you've tasted from the supermarket!

We will tour the orchard on a specially built trailer, behind a Lamborghini tractor and taste all these, plus pluot, plumcot, white apricot and peachium!
