Has it been a month since my last update? How time flies! It’s been a busy month of Society meetings and preparation for the AGM on 16th November. Although the Society’s accounts are with the auditors Walker Dunnett & Co., a Chairman’s report is also required and there have been a number of loose ends to be sorted out. These include things such as establishing the details of shares purchased by the Society during the last year, share certificates, letters authorizing the bank to release information to the auditors, and what seemed to be 101 other tasks! One of these was to get the AGM information out to our members. A nice Dark Blue, Red and White (plus the black type) advert was devised for the local press, and I admit to spending an hour in the rain, pre-Queen of the South match, putting up posters around the ground. Some jobs are still on-going though, and will continue to be so right up to the day of the AGM.
After the experiences of the recent SGM at the Gardyne Theatre, the Society needs to have fresh procedures in place to get everyone into the Penman Lounge for the AGM on the 16th - and you can help to achieve this! If you’re planning to come along, please arrive early. The door will open at 10.00am and we’ll try hard to get everyone in quickly and without fuss. Refreshments will be available prior to the start of the meeting. It will also help if you check that your details are up to date on the members’ register. If you’re not sure, why not send an email to contact@dee4life.com and we’ll check your details and get back to you with your membership number. Little things like that can all help in the long run
