Dates for Finance Meeting and AGM?

Post by John Upham » Tue Jan 03, 2023 2:03 pm

What are the dates for the ECF April Finance Meeting and the October AGM?

Possibly they are unknown as yet.

This is the motion that was on the agenda in last October's AGM:
"Council resolves that in 2023 its Finance Meeting shall be held by Zoom
on 22 April 2023 and its Annual General Meeting shall be held in London,
with access also by Zoom, on 14 October 2023".

As I wasn't there (and the minutes haven't appeared yet) I don't know
if the motion was passed but I would guess that these would be the dates,
in any case.

My recollection is that the motion was significantly amended, although not the dates.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a QR code stamped on a human face — forever.

I'm looking forward to several people travelling many miles to use a draughty hall at some expense to use their laptops to have Zoom conversations with people in the same draughty hall and with others around in the country.

Something to savour!

Brian Rix could be asked to provide a welcome speech.

Steve Mann reported
The outcome of discussions, which was a compromise, meant the next season’s Council Meeting would be conducted as follows:

Finance Meeting purely by Zoom on 22/04/2023, and

AGM on 14/10/2023 in Manchester or Leeds with access also by Zoom.

At this stage it might be amusing to predict the ratio of physical attendees versus Zoom attendees.

I'm going to stick my neck and say 5 physical and 45 Zoom.
