East Kilbride Table Tennis Club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place on Friday 18th January 2019 at 7pm in the John Wright Sports Centre.

Follow this link for a draft Agenda.

The meeting will last 1 hour and will be followed by the club’s Friday Training session which will last till 9:30pm.

We have picked this time to encourage as many players, parents and other interested parties to attend and I thank you for your support in this.

One important part of business at the AGM is the election/re-election of Office Bearers including those of Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Child Protection Officer, Club Captain & Parent Representative(s). We have volunteers at the club fulfilling these roles at present, but we always seek new volunteers who wish to play a more active role in the running of the club.

Whilst we have already sought nominations for Club Captain, we welcome any nominations for the other roles up until 12 noon on Tuesday 15th January 2019. Please send any nominations, with the consent of the nominee, to eastkilbridetabletennis@gmail.com – it is OK to nominate yourself!

Finally, there has also been a slight adjustment to the Club Constitution moving the timing of the AGM from December to January each year to allow for a full year’s Financial Report to be presented to members. You will be asked to approve this change at the AGM.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Best wishes

Brendan Faulds, Chairperson.
