The Thames Valley Group AGM will be held on Sunday January 26th 2025 in Lane End Village Hall at 2.30pm following the usual two short and long walks. All primary and secondary members are invited. We will be providing soup at the end of the walks, and hot drinks thereafter but you should still bring your own packed lunch.
Nominations for officers and other committee members (including the names of proposer and seconder, which can be arranged through any current committee member) accompanied by confirmation of the nominees agreement to stand, plus notice of any motions (including proposer and seconder) or suggestions for items to the agenda (no proposer required) should reach the Secretary (tv@ldwa.org.uk) by December 29th 2024. An agenda will then be prepared. All nominees, proposers and secondees should be Primary Members of the group, though Secondary Members are welcome to attend and comment.
As per the constitution, all committee members are required to retire at the AGM and re-submit themselves, if they wish, for re-election. There is a specific need this year to identify a new Chair, as the incumbent is standing down. Some others are willing to stand for re-election, with some moving to different posts. In view of the need for flexibility, we will take new nominations for all posts. Additionally, filling unspecified vacancies in the Committee would aid succession plans for 2026, which is our 50th anniversary, as we need manpower and ideas to start planning for this. The constitution allows for 10 committee members, and there are at least 4 vacancies. If you feel you might be able to help, please speak to a committee member or reply to this email.
An annual report for 2024 will be issued on the Thames Valley website a week in advance of the meeting and copies will be available at the meeting.
Duncan Macgregor
2024 Secretary
