The CPPA Annual General Meeting (AGM) is looming.

This year at 7pm, on Monday 19th June, we’ll be zooming in for an online AGM session, to optimise access for any interested community members. 

You can log in to see what we’ve got up to over the past year and offer suggestions for the year ahead and even join the committee, new people are always welcome.

There’ll be a few formalities. One of them is to amend the Association’s Constitution to allow the Committee some discretion to adjust the membership fee.

The Constitution currently states that membership fees “will apply equally to all members”. However, this doesn’t account for Life members, who don’t pay a membership fee, the discounts available for multiple year memberships or any complimentary memberships that the CPPA may provide.

To cover these instances the words “and will apply equally to all members” is proposed to be removed.

Of course, all the regular items will be on the agenda: the annual report, the financial report, the election of committee members and thanks to those that will be moving on.

Some pre-emptive thanks are given to:

Veronica Lund who’ll be stepping down as our auditor after five years of annually checking our accounts. The CPPA voluntarily audits its accounts as a good governance process. If you would like to volunteer as our annual auditor please get in touch.

Ian Dennison, who after 12 years on the committee will be playing a lot more golf. Ian has been Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and committee member over this period. His attention to detail, organisational excellence and expertise in most things will be sorely missed.

If you would like to attend the AGM please register and the login details will be forwarded. This is the registration link
