Chris Shannon
Hon Secretary
Thame Bowls Club AGM on Monday, 4th November 2024 commencing at 7.00pm for 7.30pm start at the Bowls Club.
- The Bowls Club AGM will take place on Monday the 4th November and a list of key roles required to organise the 2025 season is attached to the clubhouse notice board. You will see that people have already stepped forward to undertake many of the key roles, but we still have some significant gaps and do need more members to help with sharing the weekly tasks and inject new ideas and energy. Please give this some consideration before the AGM and put your name on the list or speak to one of your committee team to discuss the roles and how you can help.
- As we have all experienced, centenary year has been extremely successful and we continue to expand and thrive as a popular and friendly social club. However if we are to run all of the existing fixtures, competitions and events successfully in the future – and continue to improve and grow - we do need to recruit some new volunteers, with fresh ideas, skills and energy. So please come forward if you wish to help us ensure the club’s activities can continue to run successfully. Please don’t be reticent – we are not talking rocket science, the tasks are not difficult, we just need to share them out more evenly.
- The draft minutes of last year’s AGM are displayed in the members section of the Website and a copy is also displayed on the clubhouse notice board. Please take an opportunity to peruse these before the AGM and if necessary consider amendments or matters arising from the minutes you which to discuss, before you have an opportunity to propose and agree the minutes at the AGM as an accurate record for future reference.
- Over the next few weeks we will also display a list of proposals to be considered at the AGM. Members are encouraged to raise any further proposals they believe warrant consideration at the meeting. To do this please let your Secretary, Chris Shannon, have the outline of any key issues you would like to be debated and voted on at the AGM; these do need to be proposed and seconded by another Club member. (As mentioned above, new ideas are most welcome - so if you have any ideas or proposals for change, please feel free to discuss these with Chris or anyone from the Committee and we will be happy to help formalise these into proposals for consideration at the AGM).
- In addition, the Committee will be very happy to take any questions from the floor, though constitutionally it will not be possible to vote on any new proposals not submitted formally as above.
- I hope you will all feel it is important that you make every effort to be at the AGM to hear the reports of your club officials and to hear what your Committee has planned for our Club over the next 12 months.
Chairman
Bill Giles
