Hello all. (I didn’t say Hello curlers, as I think we are all has-beens until next season!) Yes the Annual General Meeting is soon upon us….14 May 7pm at the club. Here are several news items in addition to the title subject.
AGM Preparation: Constitution and Bylaw Amendments
In preparation for the meeting, the board wishes to provide you a number of documents to have a glance at, so that if you can add to the discussion at the meeting, the membership will be in the best position to make decisions for our future.
Accordingly, here is the first one: Our Constitution and Bylaws are in need of some updates. Please review the following document:
Some are easy to understand: there were typos, and para numbering issues, and no recognition that we nowadays use websites, emails, and newsletters to keep our folks informed. Others are more fundamental to how we do business and are worthy of a much closer look. These changes will need to be discussed and voted on at the AGM, so it would be great if you could have a look well before……and send any questions/comments/concerns or requests for more info to our Secretary at : secretary@old.huntleycurling.ca as she is leading this effort.
Stay tuned for more as the big day approaches.
Registration Update
Wow, we have about half of our folks already registered for next year. Remember: as a returning member you must register by 31 May to get preference for your choice of leagues and teams. After that date, the board will fill the leagues on a first come first served basis.
