Due to the exceptional circumstances which prevail as a result of COVID-19, the Club has taken the decision to defer its AGM this year.

The AGM is normally held prior to 31 May in any given year. Currently, the Club feels it is appropriate to defer until July.

No fixed date has yet been identified but it is hoped within the next three to four weeks that we should be in a position to specify a date and time.
