The AGM is scheduled to begin at 12.30pm BST so please plan to arrive shortly before.
We hope as many as possible will be able to join us “in person” but in order to make the meeting as accessible as possible, the Association is also hoping to arrange a Zoom link for those wishing to participate that way.
Please advise James Green at Start2Finish so that a link may be sent – james@s2fevents.co.uk
Also, to help with organisation, if you are intending to attend in person on the day, please also drop James an email.
The main business of the AGM will be to receive an annual report and the annual accounts; appoint auditors; and to elect the Officers and Committee for 2024/25.
The meeting will also be asked to formally approve the appointment of our new President.
