ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The 2012 AGM of the company was held on Saturday 10th November at 10:00am. There were 28 Members represented at the meeting. Immediately prior to the AGM, there was a Special General Meeting to consider the notified Constitutional Amendments. These changes were duly approved. Regular business was then attended to with a vigorous and productive discussion on the financial state of the company and the presentation of the audited financial statements. An abbreviated version of the minutes of both meetings is published on page 12.
