Rocket Ron 1 Posted February 16, 2015 Date set for the AGM 2015: Sunday 26th of April 2015, start at 13:00, approx duration 3 hours. Most folk already turn up from 12:00 onwards for some Corrado-chats and free entry to the Gaydon Heritage museum. More details on the CCGB Site, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted April 10, 2015 Hi Is it just a case of just turning up and aim for the normal car park? Is there anything to pay ref on the day? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 10, 2015 Nothing to pay - just show up if you're a CCGB member. It's just a meeting where we discuss direction for the club, present committee reports and so forth and members can vote on club decisions. Have a feeling it's going to be a real quiet one this year though :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted April 10, 2015 Unfortunately it is very much a formality of the club and yes, it is pretty much sitting there for three hours. There's no way to sugar coat that. There's nothing to stop you showing up though, checking out the cars, and then scooting off for the free museum visit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go early, check cars/museum out - sit for maybe 30mins of AGM...then leave early before kids get bored :thumb right: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted April 10, 2015 Is there a link available for this as I can't seem to find it on the CCGB forum...... but I may be being an idiot and missing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chazrad 0 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) All businesses and charities that are run on behalf of members or part owned by the members have to have an annual general meeting. They are a fact of life, and they're not glamorous. But they are a chance for the committee (or board of directors) to explain to the membership what they have been doing on behalf of the membership, gain approval for what has been done and explain the way ahead. If the paying membership are aren't interested in how their money is being spent, then they can't complain when they don't like what the Club is up to. Finally it's a chance to vote in the new committee. Jim is right, you can't sugar coat it, but it's all important nevertheless. On a lighter note, its worth mentioning that it's also a really good chance to meet and/or catch up with a bunch of friendly like-minded Corrado enthusiasts and normally get to look at a selection of tasty cars. If your new to the club, then you have the chance to meet the committee who work so tirelessly to run and publicise the good work the Club does and make it as good as it can be for its members. Personally I see it as a chance to support those dedicated people who run it and show them that their work is appreciated as well as catch up with what's been happening and what's planned for the show season. I get back into the country on the Saturday but certainly expect to be there at Gaydon on the Sunday. So see you all there (albeit sadly not in the Rado).
