The Chairman and Committee were re-elected for another term at the AGM after agreeing to continue in the absence of applicants to serve. Unfortunately, the lack of volunteers was the result of an administrative error. The calling notice for the AGM should have invited members to apply to serve on the Committee. As the entire Committee and Chairman had reached the end of a term of office, under the constitution applicants to serve should have been invited to apply.
One option would have been to cancel the AGM and reschedule for later in the year. However, the extra workload and delay to the other business made that undesirable. The AGM was therefore held as planned and a re-election proposal went forward as the Chairman and Committee had all agreed to accept another term of office in the absence of applicants. Your Committee currently comprises: Ambrose Barber, Ken Batstone, Richard Cannon, David Collingridge, Diana Dean, David Hassard, Kieron Kirk, Dick Poole, David Priddy, Frank Rainsborough, Paul Rash, Chris Roberts and Colin Wilson.
Members must nevertheless be given the opportunity to apply to join
the Committee and therefore nominations are now requested to arrive no
later than 30th July 2024. Please declare your interest or send
nominations to secretaryhawkercommittee@gmail.com together with names
for Proposer and Seconder. If electronic messaging is impractical write
to the Secretary; Dick Poole, Laundry Cottage, 12 Verdley Place,
Fernhurst, West Sussex, GU27 3ER.
An Extra Ordinary General Meeting will be held at the first suitable
opportunity after the end of July 2024 to revisit the 2024 Chairman and
Committee elections. Alternatively (depending on the number of
requests) applicants could join the Committee as co-opted Members until
the AGM in 2025.
