AGM 2022

SMART’s Annual General Meeting

Venue: The Haven Centre  10am to approx 2pm
Tea and Coffee on arrival.

REGISTER Attendance:  Please email committee@southernriders.org

Please join us to understand more about how Your club is organised and run.
All associates are welcome, however whilst we now no longer have any restrictions on numbers attending, your registration is required so we can ensure we have the correct catering for lunch.  Note if you have already registered, you do not need to do anything further and we look forward to seeing you there.

The AGM provides You the opportunity to understand what has occurred during the past year as well as to air ideas on how the club can be improved and to participate in the Election of club officers which is a key part of the agenda.  For point of note, our constitution states that committee members (except the GCI) hold office for one year and are re-elected or replaced in the AGM.  After three years of service to SMART we have three members of the committee standing down :-

• Chair – Tim Bergin
• Secretary – Jonathan Baker
• Treasurer – Ben Kitchen

If you are interested in taking up one of these positions, then please email the position of interest to committee@southernriders.org where you will be added to the list of candidates standing and we ask that you also please attend the AGM.

At this time the following candidates have come forward :-

• Chair – Rory Lautenbach
• Secretary – David Buttery
• Treasurer – Jonathan Baker

After the AGM business is concluded, we shall have lunch followed by an eminent guest speaker from RoSPA.
