AGM Invite

ANCHO INVITES MEMBERS AND OTHER TO AGM.

11th August 2006 -- ANCHO are holding their sixth Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at the Volunteer Rooms, Irvine at 7.00pm.  All Members of ANCHO are welcome, and are encouraged to attend and play their part in influencing the future of ANCHO.  As usual, ANCHO members who attend will have the chance to win in the Association’s prize draw. 

The meeting is also open to ANCHO tenants and the general public, even if they are not Members of ANCHO – although they can’t participate in any votes, they can come and watch. Elaine Gibson, Director, said, ‘This openness of access to meetings is unique to ANCHO in Ayrshire, and is seen as an important aspect of accountability by ANCHO’s 12-strong Management Board.  If non-Members like what they see at the meeting, and want to be part of it, Membership Application forms will be available on the night.  It costs only £1 to take a share-holding membership’. 

Secretary of ANCHO’s Management Board, Sam Walker added, ‘It is important that any Members who haven’t attended any previous AGM since they joined ANCHO try to attend this year. This is because the Membership will be automatically revoked if a Member misses five AGM’s in a row, without presenting apologies.  Our Membership, and their views are very important to us, and we don’t want to lose a single one of them.  We would also ask Members to note the change of venue this year to the Volunteer Rooms.  We hope that this change does not affect our previously high attendance levels.’
