The initial understanding was that Branch Officers (Trustees) may resign and therefore the Trustees called for an SGM to prevent failure of the Branch. Fortunately, Officers have not resigned and therefore the SGM requirement has been eliminated and consequently, cancelled.
I am sorry for any inconvenience caused to those who submitted nominations and thank them for their submissions, which will be kept in case circumstances change.
Signed Michael Reilly
Chairman
The nominations received were for specific Officer positions:
- Gary Creswell (Chairman)
