On Tuesday 30th January 2024 at 19:00 we will be holding an Annual General Meeting (AGM). We will be reporting on our progress over the last 12 months, discussing our plans for the rest of the year, and we would like to elect a core team to meet regularly to resolve issues, make plans, discuss operational items, and more. Nominations will be done informally at the meeting and you can self-nominate too.
We want to make this as much a social event as it is a business event, and we will be inviting a couple of special guest speakers. We would really like to promote one of our main mantras, Share, and invite you to come along, share your thoughts with others, bring some food and/or drinks, and let’s make a bit of a party of this too.
The meeting will take place in the shop at 116 St George’s Road, Brighton, BN2 1EA.
The proposed agenda is:
19:00 - 19:30 Meet and Mingle: An opportunity to explore the place for those that have not been here yet and to meet some new people and greet those you have met before.
19:30 Call to business:
1. Introductions – Garry & Pete
2. Guest Speaker 1 – TBC – Cat Fletcher founder of Freegle
