INVITE: Annual General Meeting – 2023/2024

It is that time of the year again!

In fact, we have brought our AGM forward to November, as we agreed at the March AGM that it made more sense to agree on issues such as Membership Fees before the new year.

Our Annual General Meeting will be held at the PISTON RING, EDENVALE, on Saturday 25th November 2023 at 10 am.

Everyone is invited to join us. We will also accommodate those that can’t attend in person, via a Team’s Link Meeting.

One of the main Agenda Points is the Election of the 2024 Committee Members.

As per our Constitution, the Gauteng Committee will consist of:

A Chairperson

A Vice-Chairperson

A Secretary

A Treasurer

A representative from Mazda SA

As many other Club Members as necessary

The club has continued to grow this year and we truly want to improve the offerings that we extend to all our members even further. Therefore we are calling on all willing and able members* to either volunteer or nominate in support of taking our Club to the next level. Activities that we have identified that need covering within the Committee are:

 

Photographer

Marketing (PR; Recruitment)

Newsletters

Induction/Welcoming Team

Finances (Dt&Ct control; Banking; Financial Statements)

Membership Database

Membership Website

Regalia (Design ideas, order, payment & delivery management)

Weekends Away Project Manager

Social Media (Website and Facebook)

Technical

Evaluation Certificates & Insurance

Corporate Affairs (Mazda SA; Mazda Japan, SAMCA)

Governance

Monthly Run Co-ordinator

Rally Co-ordinator

Other/Ad hoc as required/requested

 

At the moment these functions are being covered by the current committee members, however, according to our constitution, we are required to nominate and elect committee members each year, even if some current members are willing to continue in the same or a different role.

Please indicate on the nomination/volunteer form in which activity(ies) your strengths/skills lie and where you see yourself/nominee actively contributing towards the growth of our club.

We will have a cash bar, please bring along a picnic basket for a social lunch after the meeting.

Hope to see you there!
