SUMMARY:2025 SMC AGM – Wednesday 12.03.25
DESCRIPTION:The AGM will be held on Wednesday 12th March in The Willow Tree\, 14 West Port\, Linlithgow EH49 7AZ (formerly The Black Bitch). Tea and Coffee will be available from 7:00pm in the upstairs function room\, the AGM meeting will start promptly at 7:30pm. \nBelow is the Notice\, Agenda and a form for motions and nominations. \nAs well as reporting on the years activities\, and going through any motions which may have arisen\, the AGM is the time when your committee are voted on for the following year. \nThe existing committee will formally step down at the AGM and a vote will take place for each position and members are encouraged to put themselves forward for any position they feel they can contribute to regardless of whether an existing committee member is re-standing. \nSome of our current committee members are happy to stand again if no-one wishes to put themselves forward. However\, there will now be 3 vacancies which we require to be filled by members this year\, as the committee will be down to critical numbers. Our current Runs and Events Co-Ordinator and our Web Administrator will be standing down\, and the role of Membership Secretary is still vacant. \nIn addition to these named vacancies it is our intention to bring forward a motion to create General Committee Member position(s) allowing members to volunteer for a non-specific role in the hope this will be less daunting and encourage members to step forward. More information on this role is below and we encourage members to volunteer\, with the creation of this role being voted on at the AGM. \nHave you been with the club for more than a few years? wishing to become more involved in the direction the club is going? can bring new ideas? one of these roles could be for you. \nRuns and Events Co-Ordinator\, comprises of adding runs and events to the website\, either created by yourself\, or another club member\, or from our back catalogue. Keeping a record of run attendees\, leaders and TEC’s. Keeping members updated via a memory jogger email weekly during the busy months. It is NOT the responsibility of the Runs Coordinator to lead all the runs\, so don’t let that put you off. \nWeb Administrator\, this role will require someone with a bit of computer / web development knowledge as you will be involved in maintaining and developing our website. Our website was migrated over to Word Press last year\, and has proved to be an easier platform to use and maintain. This may sound a daunting task if you are not experienced in this area\, but we know we have members with these skills and are directly asking for your help. And it’s not too difficult to learn\, with assistance from the current Web Administrator. \nThe Membership Secretary role is quite involved throughout the year\, setting up the AGM notices and agenda\, sending out membership renewal letters and chasing up late comers\, taking in and banking membership fees\, sending out electronic membership cards as well as speaking with prospective new members via Facebook and email and inviting them to join us on runs and club nights and dealing with our BMF affiliation renewal. \nGeneral Committee Member this newly created role does not have any specific tasks assigned to it and is there to allow members to volunteer\, help out as and when required while seeing how the Committee works in the hope that as you would then feel comfortable taking on a “named position” in subsequent years. Member input is vital to the continuation of the Club and we hope to encourage newer members to join the Committee to ensure a smooth transition from one Committee to another as we move forward. \nIf you are interested in volunteering or would like further information on any of the committee posts\, please contact me by replying to this email. \nAs always\, your voice is important to the future of the club and we want to ensure we represent ALL our members and take the club forward for our mutual benefit so please try to attend the AGM if you are able to and make your opinions known \nThe meeting will receive reports from the current office bearers\, consider any competent motions\, elect office bearers and set the membership fee for the forthcoming year as laid out in the enclosed agenda. \nAny member wishing to propose a motion should submit the motion by email to the secretary. This must be received no later than Wednesday 12th February. The motion must be supported by a proposer and a seconder who are current members. \nAny member wishing to nominate either themselves or another member for an elected (committee) post should submit an application to the secretary. This must be received no later Wednesday 12th February. The application must be supported by a proposer\, a seconder and the agreement of the nominee (if applicable)\, all of whom should be current members. \nAny motions and all elections shall be decided by a vote of those present at the meeting (and all valid proxy votes).\nAny member wishing to vote by proxy should notify the secretary by email specifying their name\, and their proxy nominee. This must be received no later than Wednesday 12th February. \nMotions\, nominations and Any Other Competent Business will be accepted by email.
