EYW+ Extraordinary General Meeting, Thursday 12 September, The Beehive

[Colin Gallacher]

Hi all, 

We’re holding an EGM on Thursday 12 September at 8pm in the Beehive (room on the left as you go in), in the Grassmarket, to decide on the future of the group – whether to continue it or not.  All of you will be welcome.

We’ve received feedback indicating members want the group to continue, and also offers to lead walks beyond the current programme, and that’s great thanks.  So the walks side isn’t a problem, however the sustainability of the committee is.  We need a pool of volunteers prepared to serve a stint on the committee, so the committee revolves.  If we don’t have that, the committee can’t reasonably continue with the same officers permanently in post.  So please can you let me know if you would be willing to serve on the committee?  With a big enough pool, no-one would need to serve too long.  If we can’t get this pool of people by, say, the end of the year, we may well have to wind up the group then.

The posts required to make up a constituted Ramblers Group committee are: Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Walks coordinator(s), and optionally and preferably a Social Secretary.  In practice a stint would be 1 or 2 years, AGM to AGM, helping with walks programmes, comms, socials, finance.

Please let me know if you’ll attend.

Regards,

Colin
