Bliadhna mhath ùr!
We will be holding our first AGM as a SCIO on Thursday 18th of January in Dunvegan Community Hall. It’s always tricky to get a time to suit everyone, so we have opted for 6pm with soup and ea and coffee, and a bit of homebaking! This Annual meeting is open to all members, and we would love to see you there. We will have draft plans for the Gaeltec Building available to look at and comment on, as well as visuals of some of our other ongoing projects.
We’ll be kicking off the official proceedings at around 6:30pm, with the election of new committee members, a report the last year’s activities, and we will also be voting on an amendment to our constitution to bring us into compliance with the Community Empowerment Act, which enables us to use Community Asset Transfer legislation. The change we are voting on will be to increase the minimum ordinary membership from 10 to 20, stipulated in the following clauses of our constitution:
8.1. The Organisation shall have not fewer than 10 Members at any time.
8.3. In the event that the number of Members falls below 10 or that at least three quarters of the Members of the Organisation do not consist of members of the Community, the Board may not conduct any business other than to ensure the admission of sufficient Ordinary Members to achieve the minimum number and/or maintain the majority.
(Ordinary Membership refers to members will full voting rights, ie, over 16 and on the electoral roll within the defined geographical community of the Dunvegan Community Council Area)
Full details on the AGM procedure are available to view on our website within the constitution here:
We hope you can make it along, please let us know if you intend to so we can plan our soup and baking!
