Due to an oversight the invitation to Association Members to volunteer to join the Committee was not included in the AGM calling notice distributed in March this year. The Committee had been previously elected in 2022, and therefore elections were due in 2024. By the time the error was noticed it was too late for any volunteers to be considered at the AGM in April. Consequentially the existing Committee all agreed to stand again and was duly re-elected for a new 2 year term.

Members of the Association are now invited to volunteer to join the Committee. Responses should be made to the Secretary, dickpoole@btinternet.com . Volunteers could be co-opted onto the Committee until the next AGM when they could be formally elected.

Request For Volunteers To Join The Committee  

We would particularly like to recruit a volunteer to take over the role of Website Manager, and participate in the preparation of a new and modern website that will go live during 2025. Support is also needed to back-up present Committee Members on data management and communications, together with other IT needs relating to managing Zoom hybrid talks from the YMCA at Kingston and the HA private YouTube video library.

If no candidates express an interest at present the normal process will be in place for elections at the AGM in April 2026, when another call for volunteers will be made early in February with the AGM calling notice.
