-2276Days -10Hours -37Minutes -8Seconds

AGM

Before the screening of Lady Bird, we will be holding a brief AGM, including the formal Election of Officers.  The position of Vice Chairman is currently vacant, if anyone is interested in assuming this role.  Additionally, we have a few vacancies on the Selection Committee – this is not an onerous undertaking, most discussions are via email and we meet once or twice each year to select the films for the following season and discuss the running of the club.

The Agenda for the AGM can be downloaded here:
