All

We will have our South London & Surrey TRF Group AGM at our Club Night meeting on Tuesday 24 January 2017. We are required by byelaws of the TRF to hold this on an annual basis.

Our AGMs have always been very informal and pretty short. For this year I propose the following agenda will be:

21:00
- Usual club business (ROW reports etc)

21:15
- Open formal AGM
- Membership report
- Financial report
- Highlights of 2016 (/"Officer reports")
- Questions and Answers
- Any formal proposals from members (group officers to be notified by Tuesday 17 Jan)
- Elections to Officers position

- Close of AGM
- To be followed by Group Awards.

If anyone wishes to stand for election for one of the six Officer posts please let myself, Steve Sharp or Steve McCormick know. The posts are:
- Chair (currently myself, Steven Taylor)
- Group Representative (currently Steve Sharp)
- Treasurer (currently Viv Offord, who is not a TRF member but used to be, and who has been content to continue to support us in this role)
- Rights of Road Officer (currently Steve Sharp)
- New Member Officer (currently Steve Sharp)
- Equestrian Officer (a new officer role)
- Secretary (currently Steve McCormick)

If anyone wishes to make any formal proposals or "motions" to put to the Group please notify a group Officer by Tuesday 17 January.

Any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks

Steven
Chairman, South London & Surrey TRF
