AGM – an explanatory note

To Members of Reed Cricket Club, The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Reed CC usually takes place during November of each year. Because of the restrictions relating to Covid-19 affecting the number of people allowed to gather together, the Club's General Committee took the decision to postpone the AGM for three months in the hope that the restrictions would be relaxed by then, thus permitting a proper meeting to be held in the Howard Marshall Pavilion. The date chosen is Thursday 18th February 2021. Alas, with the reintroduction of a further short period of "lockdown" the indications are that our AGM might have to be conducted virtually after all. Safety is paramount so if that is the case, we shall inform you how we intend running the meeting which, in all likelihood, would probably require setting deadlines for proposals, elections and constitutional rule changes to be submitted in the weeks before 18th February. Whilst we hope that we will be able to meet as usual, the Committee is looking at ways that balloting, etc., can be administered remotely. I shall let you know what we have decided nearer the time. I know some Club Members do not receive emails or have access to the internet. Whilst I shall attempt to update them myself, please may I trust that their family members convey the above message to them. Thank you. Meanwhile, I wish you and your families well. Stay safe and healthy and I look forward to seeing you either in person or virtually in the near future. PGB Peter G. Baker, Honorary Secretary, Reed Cricket Club.
