NZLARPS Auckland will be holdings its AGM in October. We will be holding the 2020 AGM in the Greater Auckland Region & the Waikato Region on 9 October 2020. Due to the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 and the world right now, there will be no physical location and we will be hosting the AGM remotely via Zoom with voting to be conducted via email voting.
Nominations for the Auckland Regional Committee can be made either in the thread below, in the thread on the NZLARPS facebook group or by emailing the Regional Director on auckland@nzlarps.org. Any nominations made via facebook or via email will be posted on the thread below for accurate recording.
Due to our online voting system, there will be no nominations accepted from the floor. The deadline for nominations is currently 2 October 2020. (this may change, but again, we will update once we have a firm date.
Any other motions can also be made via this thread or by email.
As a result of changing circumstance, this year the National Committee resolved to merge the Waikato Regional branch of our organisation into the Auckland Region. So if you were a member of the Waikato Region previously, this is now your AGM - also welcome! Happy to have you all. Please also do not feel like you cannot stand for committee - as Covid has shown, all you need to attend meetings is an internet connection and a microphone.
