Dear Member,

You are invited to attend the AGM of the Dorset Group of the Long Distance Walkers Association, on Sunday 19 November 2023 at Durweston Village Hall at 2.30pm.

Prior to the AGM there will be a group walk in the morning and, for those who are attending the AGM, a buffet lunch will be available at the village hall. 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 22 October 2023. 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 Secretary. Nominations must have a proposer and a seconder and, of course, the agreement of the person nominated.

If you would like to know more about what being on the committee involves, or details of any of the offices, please contact any member of the committee. We will be happy to chat to you, so please don't be put off from enquiring 

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 22 October 2023.  All motions must have a proposer and a seconder.

I will send out the agenda for the AGM after Sunday 22 October, including details of the nominations and motions received. I will also send an email with more information regarding the buffet lunch and how to book your place for it.

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

Group Secretary
