Annual
General
Meeting
Read the SBU Report for 2011-12 here.
This year’s AGM on Tuesday 29th May will be unique in that
there
will be a contested
election for President. Council’s nomination is Michael Ash
whose
experience in business and politics as well as bridge itself will be
invaluable in these testing times both financially and in the run-up to
the Commonwealth Nations Bridge Championship.
We would encourage
members to attend the AGM but if that is not possible proxy votes are
available. Proxy forms must be received by the Proxy Voting
Officer at least seven days before the meeting. Proxy forms can be
downloaded here.
