AGM 2024

AGM 2026

It's the time of year when we traditionally hold our Annual General Meeting - your chance to ask questions, make suggestions or comments, vote in the committee, or just come and listen to us spouting on about the previous twelve months. Oh, and you generally get a cup of tea or coffee, too! This year's AGM will take place at 7.00 on Thursday 26 March in The Old Schoolhouse on Market Hill, Royston.

This year, we're looking to fill several roles on the committee - Zoe Nesteriuc stood down this year as Chair for family reasons so that role needs to be filled. But we could also, like all voluntary groups, do with some fresh faces on the committee and would encourage you all to at least think about putting yourselves forward - the committee generally meets once a month in somebody's home and meetings begin at 7.00 or 7.30. If we don't spend too much time chatting, they're normally over by about 9.00.

Most of the actual work of the committee gets done by the officers (Chair, Secretary, Treasurer) but we do rely on our "ordinary" members for their insight and their opinions on what we're doing, what we plan to do, and even what we should be doing instead! If you can spare an hour every month or so, do please let us know that you're interested.

2026 looks set to pose some interesting challenges for the group (which you'll hear about at the meeting) so it's particularly important that we have a strong committee...

Just to remind you - anyone is welcome to attend the AGM but if anything gets put to a vote (including the appointment of committee members), then only fully paid-up members of CADS are eligible to vote. Nonetheless, we'd be delighted to see you there whether or not you're a member and everyone's voice will get a chance to be heard, so if you have any thoughts on the present or future of the group, do please join us...
