4. Prepare an Annual Report for the meeting. Ask for contributions from role holders, groups or teams as appropriate.

5. The meeting is held on Freegle Central, but only Freegle Members can vote. The Membership Register must be kept up to date and the Returning Officers have access to it to check for any poll participation.

6. Send out a bulk mailing to all owner addresses and post by Special Notice on Central to inform of forthcoming AGM. Mention closing date/time for any new membership applications for those wishing to participate. Also invite AOB agenda items.
