Dear Members</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">This request is
from
me. I have not asked the committee about it. I don’t know their
opinion of it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">Last year we
(UKTUG) attempted to hold an AGM. As you will know, we (The
secretary, on
behalf of the committee) circulated the papers, we (committee) set
&
announced a date and the motions. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">In preparation, I
had spent many hours of studying the constitution to adapt to
Covid
conditions. I believed I had found a solution. The initial attempt
to hold the AGM was, as expected, inquorate. I planned for the AGM
to be resumed a week later, and for it then to be quorate with one
member present. The constitution left us with few choices about
how
to achieve that and it turned out to be too difficult for the
chair
of the AGM to do in time. So no quorate AGM was held. <br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">The point of an AGM
is for you, the members, to tell the committee what you want it to
do in the coming year. And to make sure that what was done in the
previous year was as it should be.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">You’ve had the
reports from secretary, chair & treasurer. We (the committee)
did our
best, given our skills, time and commitment.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">Using
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:uktug-announce@tug.org">uktug-announce@tug.org</a>, (shared with members) or
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:chair@uktug.org.uk">chair@uktug.org.uk</a> (just to me) do comment on the 2019-2020
reports, if you think
there is anything wrong and fixable, or practically improvable.
I’m
not interested in theory at this late stage.</p>
<p>Do also comment on
what needs doing urgently in this, the 2020-2021 year.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">Thank you,</p>

secretary's report I'll post that here too.</p>
