Annual General Meeting
Written by Andrew Gardner   
May 31, 2010 at 05:13 AM

The AGM will take place on Wednesday 16 June in Islington Town Hall at 7.30 before our lecture on Joseph Grimaldi, the Clerkenwell Clown, at 8pm. All members are invited to attend, or if unable to, send messages to be read.

All members of the committee apart from myself are in continued terms of office this year, and I hope to be asked to continue as there is much still to do. I'll tell members more about that in my annual report.

We need people to join the committee, and I ask any member who is interested in taking an active role to contact me or any member of the committee to talk about it. The work is not difficult, and provides an excellent way of meeting a lot of very interesting people.

It has come to my attention that messages are being sent purporting to be from this society. They are false, and I am making every endeavour to put a stop to it.

A good question posed by a member at the AGM. Of course people must ask why subscription money is spent on certain things. Read on for a slightly longer reply.
