The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the members is traditionally held on the last Wednesday of March each year. Due to the ongoing Clubhouse development, we need to plan and be a little flexible. We have provisionally booked Wednesday 30th April 2025 as the date for the AGM; however, we will not be able to confirm this until closer to the time. As a contingency, we also have an alternative date of Wednesday 16th April 2025.

Confirmation of the date and the formal invitation will follow in early March.
