2011 CAFA AGM

Posted in Footy, Front Page on December 3rd, 2011 by Oscar – Be the first to comment

You as a member of our great football club are invited (strongly suggested) to attend the AGM for 2012.  It will be held at Brownstone Tavern, on 18 December @ 10:15am SHARP, they are opening ahead of time just for us (normally don’t open til 11am).  That said we want to keep the meeting breif but have a lot to get through, as people starting coming in around 11am for the noon Bears kick off.

Find attached, the agenda, nomination form and proxy voting slip.  The proxy slip is for those of you that CANNOT make the meeting.  This is an extraordinary agenda item that we need your opinion on.  The proxy slip is self explanatory, however you need to submit on or before Friday 16 December for us to register and include your vote.  There are a lot of pro’s and con’s to this vote, and your opinion counts.  Remember this club is for us, not individuals, we need to do what is best for the club not next year but for the many years ahead.  In addition this is NOT about dissolving the history that the club is based, merely another chapter in the book.

Any queries/suggestions etc, forward to myself and/or Prez Poncho.  Unless I here from you, the current committee members are willing to stand another year, you may also nominate yourself for a position, remember it takes a lot of people to run a successful club, put your hand up if you want to be a part of it!
