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.
