As Trev is kindly commenting, can you give an overview of current membership figures, AGM situation and/or committee members who are required to stand down and re-apply and accounts? Thanks Trev. Good work on the emails BTW.
Sure. The trust membership numbers 980 at present, the accounts for the year to September 30 2020 are with our auditor for sign off, and we are planning an AGM in person ASAP, having had to cancel last year's due to covid.
Regulations from next Monday will only allow indoor meetings of up to 6 is my understanding, so the June date for the more general opening up is the absolute earliest we would be able to hold an AGM. But my guess (and I stress no final decision's been made) is that we may prefer to hold it over till pre season / early season, given that we need to run the committee election and make the necessary other arrangements. We would much prefer to do an AGM in person than via Zoom, and if it means waiting a little longer that would be my personal preference, I can't speak for everyone else on the committee.
Interestingly, it's only from Monday that we will be able to meet as a committee together on person (outdoors) given there are 9 of us!
Final point on the election, as always the one third of the committee who've been in place the longest will stand down but can reapply as a candidate if they wish, so that clearly will be 3, and we are currently one short of our full complement of 10, so >4 candidates will trigger a vote.
Thanks for the comment re the emails. We find MailChimp is pretty good at delivery though if anyone reads this and your supply of OxVox emails has dried up, please PM me and I'll check it out.
Oh, and maybe I'm allowed a little membership plug on here, if mods will tolerate it? The trust exists to represent the interests of the fans - the more fans that join the more effective the trust can be, in all sorts of ways. To sign up just visit
www.oxvox.org.uk and follow the instructions on the joining page. At a tenner for three years the cost is small but your support is hugely valued.
