The club AGM (Annual General Meeting) is our official yearly meeting where members come together to review the past year, make key decisions and plan for the future. It’s an important part of how a club is run and ensures it stays transparent, democratic and well organised.
The meetings usually start with a review of the past year, and includes a Chair’s report – Overview of the season, achievements, challenges, a Secretary’s report – Administrative updates and membership numbers and a Treasurer’s report – Financial summary (income, expenses, balance). This gives members a clear picture of the club’s health.
There will also be an Election of Committee Members. Key roles are usually elected or re-elected, such as:
- Chairperson
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Welfare Officer
- Coaching Coordinator
- General committee members
Members can stand for positions and vote.
There will be a discussion around finances to agree membership fees for the next year and discuss budgets for kit, facilities, competitions, etc and a section for rule changes or proposals, where members may vote on items such as; changes to the club constitution, updates to policies (e.g, safeguarding, codes of conduct) and/or new initiatives or long-term plans. The meeting will conclude with an open discussion (any other business - AOB) where members can ask questions, raise concerns, suggest improvements and/or offer to volunteer.
We actively encourage attendance from our club members, coaches, parents and committee members.
