AGM 20th October at 6pm in the Plough Auditorium

We have over 700 members, which is wonderful news! But it does present us with an issue of how to run our AGM. We have decided that it is best to run an in-person only AGM and not to attempt a hybrid meeting (with some people attending online and some in person). This is because running a hybrid meeting comes with all sorts of technical constraints and high costs, meaning technical glitches potentially distracting presenters and voting being problematic. We’d rather spend the money on the work needed than on tech, which may or may not work on the night!

The Plough holds 235 people, so we are reaching out to ask all our shareholders if they intend to attend the AGM. We’d be immensely grateful;

  1. We will be emailing all members for whom we hold an email address over the next two weeks, asking if you are looking to attend in person – with a link to say YES or NO
  2. Sending a text to 07976 789 771 stating your name and YES or NO
  3. Email [email protected] giving your name and stating YES or NO

Seats are restricted to members only.

Book a seat at AGM in person

Please only book a seat if you are a share holder

One seat per shareholder. We will be sending a livestream link to all shareholders so you can watch the AGM and you will still be able to vote for the board using a link which will be sent to you.

AGM final agenda will be displayed at The Globe 2 weeks prior to AGM and will include:

AGM draft  agenda

  1. Directors Speech
  2. Project Update
  3. Receiving of accounts 24/25 (31/3)
  4. Voting on Resolutions:
  1. Voting to nominate Auditor or to accept non-audited accounts for 25/26
  2. Voting in of Board
  3. All current Board must stand down and may stand for re-election. All nominations for director role will complete a statement which will be shared on our website, at the Globe prior to the event, and read by Chair or nominee at AGM.

Voting for item 4a will take place at the AGM event only.

Voting for item 5 will take place at the event and in the week following the AGM. Votes can be lodged:

  • At the AGM in person via a paper ballot,
  • Following the AGM using a one-entry only surveymonkey link by mid-day 27th Oct,
  • By visiting the Whiskers Pet Centre and filling in a paper ballet and lodging in ballot box before midday 27th Oct.

The Chair will announce the results and then formally close the meeting. The new board will be listed on the website and at The Globe.

If you wish to be considered to stand as a director then let me know and we will send you a nomination pack. We will put you in touch, with one of our current directors so you can get an understanding of the role and commitment needed. The nomination pack will include more information on the specific skills we are looking for.

If you feel becoming a director is too time consuming but you still want to be actively involved then you may want to put your name forward to take part in our advisory/consultative sessions. These will be facilitated events bringing people together around the themes of:

  • Community
  • Business
  • Training

These sessions will help us ensure that our business plan and building design develops to both meet the needs and wants of our town. We intend to start these sessions in Nov/Dec. We imagine they will take place one evening a week for 2 hours and we will run a series of sessions.

In 2026 we will also hold design consultation sessions where the architect and design team will present our drawings.

Thank you again for supporting The Globe!
