Hurst Village Society Annual General Meeting

28 February, Small Village Hall

Hurst Village Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held on Friday 28 February in the Small Village Hall. Everyone who is resident in the parish, and anyone else who lives outside the parish but who is interested in Hurst, is invited to attend the meeting, which will start at 8pm.

Anyone who would like to join the general committee should print and complete the nomination form below (or the copy from inside the printed newsletter) and bring it with them to the meeting. Three of the current committee of 10 people will be standing down, and are likely to stand again. There can be up to 15 members of the committee, so please don’t be shy, put yourself forward as a committee member!

The AGM is also a reminder to people to renew their membership of the Society – see the application and renewal form (also available in the printed newsletter). This is very important because the Village Society aims to provide an independent voice for Hurst residents, and therefore it relies on membership to support that statement.
