The Lewes Hockey Club Annual General Meeting will be held in the main Clubhouse of the Southdown Club on Thursday 16th May 2019 at 7.00pm. Please be ready and seated.

The Awards this year will be presented by a former England World Cup player and Great Britain Olympian.

The agenda is similar to last year:
• Welcome and update on England Hockey ClubMark status
• Approve minutes of last year’s AGM
• Junior Awards
• Formal adoption of the Hockey Club Constitution
• Questions
• Break
• Elections
• Reports
• Finance update and membership fees
• Any other business
• Senior Awards

We would appreciate a good turnout to applaud the achievements of your fellow members, and to celebrate the final event of this season.

If you are unable to attend the meeting would you please communicate your apologies to Zoe (Club Secretary) via email to sec@leweshc.com

Nominations for all Committee and other roles are welcome, whether or not the incumbent is prepared to stand for re-election. This year there will be a number of key posts that will need filling for the 2019-2020 season, these include:

• Men’s Club Captain
• Development Officer
• Sponsorship and fundraising
• Club Socials Coordinator

This year we need someone to step forward to take on the role of Sponsorship and Fundraising – you will all be aware that our pitch has limited life left in it and a recent visit from England Hockey recommended that it be replaced this year! Over the next year our focus is to raise funds for a new surface and we are looking for a volunteer to lead on this – you may be a player, a past member or a parent whose children have recently joined the Club. If you have the skills or would like further information then please contact Rob or Sara chairman@leweshc.com

Nominations for all posts will be accepted up until Wednesday 15th May 2014. Please see the attached note for a list of all committee positions and key roles and the nominations received so far.

If you are interested in any Committee or non-Committee roles please contact Zoe via email sec@leweshc.com or feel free to speak with any existing Committee Member.

Voting for all elected Committee Members will be by ballot – if candidates agree then by show of hands. If there is only one candidate nominated for any role then that candidate will be declared elected unopposed.

The other key vote is to accept the Hockey Club’s Constitution – as part of the ClubMark process we have reviewed and updated a number of club documents. The Club’s Constitution is important as it provides the framework for governing our club and allows all members to exercise their democratic rights. We hope that you will support the Committee by endorsing this – if you have any questions, we would like to know in advance either formally or informally so that we can answer them in detail. The proposed constitution will be sent out within the week to all members for consideration.

Should you have any questions under Any Other Business, please could you send them to Zoe via e-mail sec@leweshc.com by 14th May 2019. We would prefer to have the opportunity to answer your query properly, rather than try to respond to questions unprepared on the night. We also hope that, this year, the Committee have been approachable and available for you to have raised any major issues before this meeting.

Your attendance will be much appreciated.

Rob and Sara
LHC Chairman
