ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
This year’s AGM, our 14th, will be held at 9 Powis Square, Brighton BN1 3HH on Friday, 14 March at 12 noon.
Because the AGM is being held in a private home, it is vital that you let us know by Friday, 28 February at the latest whether you intend to come by contacting the Secretary, Margaret Polmear at membership@stringsattachedmusic.org.uk. This is so that appropriate seating can be provided or an alternative larger venue arranged if expected attendance makes this necessary.
Please note that parking in and around Powis Square is very limited and you would be well advised to travel by public transport.
If you intend to come to the meeting, please bring with you the following papers which will be downloadable from the Strings Attached website in due course (further information to follow). We will not supply copies on the day.
Agenda for AGM 2025
Minutes of the 2024 AGM
