Dorset LDWA

Dear Members,

You are invited to attend the AGM of the Dorset Group of the Long Distance Walkers Association, on Sunday 28 November 2021 at Durweston Village Hall.

Prior to the AGM there will be a group walk in the morning, led by Robert Powell, and for those who are attending the AGM, a buffet lunch will be available at the village hall (more details to follow nearer the time). The group will pay for your lunch, if you are a primary member of the Dorset Group and you attend the AGM afterwards.

Only primary members of the group can attend the AGM. If you wish to include someone who has primary membership of a different LDWA group, or who is not an LDWA member, this will need to be agreed by the committee, so please let me know well in advance.

Nominations for Officers and Committee Members

Please send to me, at dorset.ldwa.secretary@gmail.com nominations for officers and ordinary committee members. These must be received by me no later than four weeks before the AGM, which is by Sunday 31 October 2021. Nominations are very welcome for any of the positions, or to be an ordinary member of the committee. The offices are Chair, Group Secretary, Treasurer, Walks Secretary and Challenge Events Co-ordinator. Nominations must have a proposer and a seconder and, of course, the agreement of the person nominated.

If you want to know more about what being on the committee involves, or details of any of the offices, any member of the committee will be happy to help you and, if needed, will find someone who knows more about it to talk to you. Please don't be put off from enquiring, we really do need more help, as the committee could become unviable without additional members. Please note: Our Chair, Chris Pitt, intends to stand down at this year’s AGM as he has already served longer in this role than he should generally do so, under the terms of our group constitution. Our Treasurer, Robert Powell and Walks Secretary, Anne Brown have also served their terms and intend to leave the committee, as does Martin Callow. Help and mentoring for anyone willing to take on any role will be available if needed.

Motions

Motions for consideration at the AGM must be sent to me at dorset.ldwa.secretary@gmail.com no later than four weeks before the AGM, which is by Sunday 31 October 2021. All motions must have a proposer and a seconder.

 

I will send out the agenda for the AGM by Sunday 14 November, including details of the nominations and motions received. I will also send an email shortly with more information regarding the buffet lunch, and how to book your place for it, as we will need to know the number to cater for (and dietary requirements) at least two weeks before the AGM.

 

Please do not reply directly to this email as it is from an unmonitored email account, used for outgoing messages only.

Pat Clifton
Group Secretary
