The Ninth ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Cheshire Union of Golf Clubs Limited was held virtually on Tuesday 2nd February, 2021 and started promptly at 4pm. It was convened to elect the Directors for the year 2021-2022 and any other business which may be legally transacted at the Meeting.
At our AGM, all affiliated Clubs will be entitled to one Vote by their Nominated Voting Member who should be available at the meeting. The Board is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help run the Union's activities. Be that a Director or not.
The position of a Director is entirely honorary. There is some obligatory expense involved in attending matches, including accomodation when attending away matches in northern England. It is advisable that prospective candidates for election should be advised of this before being nominated.
