As we are currently unable to hold a "face-to-face" Annual General Meeting, it was decided to present 4 options to the membership via an online "Zoom" meeting which took place on 11th December 2020 at 19:30.
These options were:
- That the present committee stay in place for 2021
- The committee stay in place until we can hold an AGM or EGM
- Hold an online or postal ballot
- Any other suggestions
There were 13 members present and it was unanimously agreed that we should adopt option 1.
We have taken the decision to close the club premises with immediate effect. There will be no club meetings for the foreseeable future.
Please read the NHS advice on Covid-19 if you require any more information https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
