We had intended to hold this year’s AGM at the Wycliffe Rooms in Lutterworth, following on from the success of last year’s event at the same venue. However, in view of the present Covid-19 situation failing to improve, we have decided that the AGM will now be a virtual event held via Zoom.
Whilst a physical meeting is always our preference, this provides everyone with the opportunity to participate without an increased risk of exposure to the virus. Details for the meeting can be obtained by contacting Pat Screaton (details below). Both a meeting ID and a passcode have been put in place for increased security and James McGeachie, our Membership Secretary, will also be screening participants on the day to ensure they are members before admitting them to the meeting, thus preventing any uninvited guests from joining the AGM.
For those unfamiliar with Zoom, it is quite easy to use. You can download the Zoom app free of charge to your mobile phone, tablet or computer. On the day, simply copy the link into your web browser or app, entering the meeting ID and passcode when prompted.
Where email addresses are known, members will also receive an email containing a repeat of the meeting details ahead of the day itself. The AGM will start promptly at 2:30pm, with people able to log into Zoom from 2:00pm onwards to allow everyone to join in plenty of time and if necessary, iron out any last-minute technical wrinkles. If you do experience any issues or have any questions, James will be on hand to help where possible.
