Covid 19 and the AGM

[Normb666]

Gang,

Chairman Norm here. I'd been thinking about this for the last week or so, and even made a joke (sort of) that there might be no Stoneleigh show this year, and how that'd save everyone from having to go But now there's a real possibility that might actually happen, and so we have to be ready to react. Apart from not being able to attend any shows if the government bans large gatherings, the only way it really affects us as a club is in our holding of an AGM, which usually happens at Stoneleigh. It's only two months away, so if such a ban comes into effect we'd not have much time to organise a self-contained one elsewhere (we got, as I remember, 49 people at the AGM last year, which could be alright depending on what number the powers that be consider to be a "large gathering"). Therefore, after chatting with Griff, we think September-time for a "backup" AGM works as it gives us time to sort something out if necessary, and check out the lie of the land Corona-wise over the summer. But, in the meantime, it's still Stoneleigh unless we're told otherwise.

If it transpires that we can't hold an AGM at all, it won't matter what the club rules say about holding one every year, cos we simply won't be able to do so. Therefore, we might end up balloting you all regarding committee membership. But hopefully it won't come to that.

I dunno....all this over infected beer. What's the world coming to???

all this over infected beer.

I'm old enough to remember when Corona was a fizzy soft drink ! Otherwise - sounds like a plan Norm.

I think we might end up having our hand forced on this soon. Just seen the news that Techno Classica in Essen has been cancelled today. Okay, huge attendances and crowded halls there will be much more of a threat than the cowsheds and halls at Stoneleigh to the general public but if you're on a stand and everyone is coming to you?

The rules do say each year, but dont say when in the year, so Griff's idea would seem a wise move.. No one wants to catch it after all...

Stoneleigh still going ahead at the moment, spoke to organisers this morning but this could change. Anyone want to buy a couple of plane tickets ,train tickets from Birmingham to Kenilworth and hotel booking 😂
