A few notes to prepare for next week’s AGM. It will start promptly at 7.40pm, 26 April 2023, so would Main band members please make sure they are on time for the earlier start. The aim is to complete within an hour!

Note 1

 

I’ve attached a copy of the 21/22 accounts to which Mike will speak. Other reports will be available on the website and will be briefly talked to during this meeting.

 

Note 2

 

The election to the Executive Committee will again be on the basis of the current constitution. With the still not completed move to Charity Status we are in a transitionary phase and the intention is that the elected Executive Committee will become the inaugural Board of Trustees for the Charity once registered.

 

On the basis of the current constitution and precedent, the positions to be filled are as follows. - Please note this does not preclude other members standing for these posts- at which point an election will take place. Anyone wishing to offer themselves to be part of the exec in general or for a specific role to please make themselves known to me, ideally prior to the AGM date.

 

Chair    (Andrew Rixon re-standing) 

Secretary (Richard Lovett re-standing)

Assistant Secretary (Graeme Cornish)

Treasurer (Mike Cook re-standing)

Librarian (Kim Golson re-standing, although looking for assistance)

Safeguarding (Paul Kind re-standing)

Property Master (Andy Woolhouse re-standing)

Progress Band Representative (Bob Barnes re-elected by CPBB 19 April 2023)

2 General Members (Committee may co-opt as necessary)

The MDs are ex officio members.

 

 Note 3 

 

The day to day running of the bands (gigs, rehearsals, concerts, contests, music etc) is in the hands of their organsising sub committees. The main and progress bands need to (re-)appoint their respective sub committees following the AGM, with the elected chairs being co-opted onto the Executive Committee and then the Board of Trustees.

 

See you all next week

Hello everyone, again. I

See as many of you as possibly for a 19.40 start. Please send apologies if you can't make it (ie. let me know, you don't actually have to apologise :-)). I have already received a few.

 

Thanks.
