Agenda: Medical Lecture & SGM - 16 October 2004

By:  Katherine White  Sunday, 8. August 2004

A special general meeting is to be held to consider changes to the ADSHG constitution. This will be followed by a Medical Lecture by Professor Russell Jones, Royal Surrey County Hospital, entitled "Everything you want to know about Addison's". 

Saturday 16 October 2004

Special General Meeting &

Medical Seminar

The Forum (functions room), The Stoke Hotel,
103 Stoke Road, Guildford GU1 4JN

 Order of events

Please arrive promptly for a 2pm start.

The seminar by Professor Jones will be on an informal question and answer basis. So come along with your questions ready.

We would like to encourage partners and friends to join the injection practice so they know what to do in an emergency.  The injection practice will be on oranges - not on ourselves.

We will be asking for a donation at the door of £5 waged, £2 unwaged to cover the costs of room hire, tea and coffee, and additional expenses.

We need at least 20 members to attend the special general meeting so we can amend our constitution to meet the Charity Commission’s requirements.  Please help us to get charitable status by coming to Guildford, voting, and hearing Professor Jones.

K.  Meetings and proceedings of the executive committee

1.       The executive committee shall keep minutes of the proceedings at meetings of the executive committee and any sub-committees.

 

U. Alterations to the Constitution
