Hi everyone,

The Auckland Regional AGM for 2014 is on the horizon. Start thinking about it now. :slight_smile:

Meeting Time and Location
NOTE NEW DATE
The AGM will be held on Wednesday the 15th of October, at my place in Westmere: 18 Faulder Avenue.
Note if the numbers of confirmed attendees gets to big we will hire a hall, so check back here closer to the date for location.

It will start at 7:30pm. (It will follow the National AGM, at the same venue, so come along for that.)

Please attend the AGM- it is real important that we have quorum for the meeting, so we can vote in our new committee and get a clear direction on how the membership wants the committee to take for the next year.

#20

Thanks for the nomination, however I won’t have much time in the coming year to do the in-person stuff needed to do the regional marketing role justice. Attending events, including regional committee meetings, will stretch me too thin.

It would be much better if someone else can take on this role.
