Tēnā koutou,
NZLARPs Wellington will be holding its Annual General Meeting (AGM) online on Thursday 10 October 2024 at 6:30pm.
As discussed last year, we are still dealing with the Incorporated Societies Act and how that affects us as a Society. There will be a greater discussion of that in the National AGM.
Nominations for the Wellington Regional Committee can be made either in the thread below or by emailing wellington.secretary@nzlarps.org.
Nominations must be put forward and seconded by current NZLARPS members. Please note that the nominee does not need to currently be a member, but must be by the time of the AGM.
Due to our online voting system, there will be no nominations accepted from the floor. The deadline for nominations is currently 17 September 2024 but this may be extended depending on the finalised date for the AGM. Information on electronic voting will be sent when nominations close. Nominees must also accept their nominations by this time.
Any other motions can also be made via this thread or by email.
