Summary of our October AGM club meeting

Club Meeting & AGM Update

Last night’s meeting was a great opportunity to welcome both new and returning members to the club! 👏

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced member, all the information you need to get started and continue developing can be found through our club’s main portal. You can also stay connected with fellow members, ask questions and get support through our messaging groups on both Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.

Following our monthly motivational slideshow, we held our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where we discussed the club’s progress and welcomed both existing and new members to our committee panel.

We also saw our outgoing Chairperson step down from the role and welcomed our newly elected Chairperson into position. A big thank you to our outgoing Chairperson for their time, dedication and contribution to the club, and best wishes to our new Chairperson as they take on this important role!
