===Notice of Meeting===
(This message has been sent to all Freegle Volunteers via an email to the List Owner address of all Freegle affiliated groups)

The first Freegle AGM will be held from 31st October to 6th November
2011 in accordance with our Constitution. The business of the AGM will
be held on the FreegleUK Central group over the period of 7 days.

AGM papers are starting to be uploaded on this Freegle wiki
http://wiki.ilovefreegle.org/AGM_2011 .  The final papers and
information will be posted by 21st October 2011.  Protocol for the
meeting and all relevant information on the AGM will be provided on
the wiki.

If you have an item that you wish to raise at the AGM, please inform
Edward Hibbert [mailto:edward@ehibbert.org.uk edward@ehibbert.org.uk] by 14th October
with a paper explaining the issue and with a clear recommendation that
can be voted upon.  Only business notified on the final Agenda will be
discussed as part of the official AGM proceedings.  Please consider
carefully whether any issue you wish discussed needs to be part of the
AGM or would be more appropriate to be raised through the normal
channels of discussion and debate on the central groups.

We strongly recommend that all Volunteers ensure they are members of
FreegleUKCentral [[http://freegle.it/Central]]  in plenty of
time in order to participate in the AGM.  Any polls or decisions that
need to be made will be notified by Special Notice on that group.

Apologies for absence can be submitted by posting a message on the
Apologies thread on Central starting 24 October, ending at the
commencement of the AGM.  If you are not a member of Central and
unable to post your own message, please send your apologies to Alison
[mailto:freegleburgesshill@gmail.com freegleburgesshill@gmail.com] - who will post them on your
behalf. Alison will be producing minutes of the meeting.
