Dear Friend of Strings Attached
Annual General Meeting 2015
The fourth Annual General Meeting of Strings Attached will be held after the coffee concert on Sunday 22 February 2015 in the Founders Room at Brighton Dome at 1300. You are warmly invited to attend. A sandwich lunch will be provided but please see AGM catering arrangements below – we need you to tell us in advance if you are coming so we can ensure that there will be enough food to go round.
The following papers accompany this letter:
Agenda for AGM 2015
Minutes of the 2014 AGM
Annual Report for 2014
Statement of Accounts for 2014
Please bring them with you to the meeting as we will not supply copies on the day.
Nomination of committee members
Strings Attached has a committee currently comprising 6 members (although a total of 8 places is available). Two of the current members, Rena Feld and John McKean, are standing down so we are looking for at least two new members. The committee meets a maximum of 6 times a year with email communication between meetings. If you would like to join us or nominate another person to do so, please make contact with me (01273 554278 or memckean@me.com).
The skills of the remaining committee members would be greatly enhanced by new members who are actively involved in music education and/or who have skills in publicity and public relations, fundraising or graphic design and/or a knowledge of or interest in social media. Please do not be put off if your skills do not relate to these areas – we’ll still be glad to hear from you.
Renewal of membership
Those of you who have not renewed your membership are welcome to attend the AGM but will not be able to vote. However, should you wish to renew, there will be applications forms available on the day.
AGM catering arrangements
If you intend to come to the AGM, please let Christine Moon know by Sunday 15 February (01323 492414 or info@stringsattachedmusic.org.uk so that the caterer can be informed of the numbers attending.
Contribution to the AGM discussion in the event of being unable to attend
If you are unable to come to the AGM but have comments on the papers or the coffee concerts or ideas for future activity, please let me know.
Yours sincerely
