<p>(This is a repeat of my message of a week ago, with changes shown
in <font color="#ff0000">red</font>).</p>
<p>The BGA AGM takes <font color="#ff0000">tonight</font> at 20:00,
on Zoom.</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p>The Zoom details that you will need to join the meeting are at
the bottom of this email. <br>
</p>
<p>The AGM will be preceded by a short Extraordinary General
Meeting (EGM) to consider proposals to make a couple of minor
amendments to the Company's Articles. This is being done as a
separate meeting to ensure that the changes (if approved) will
apply to the AGM itself.</p>
<p>The Agenda, Annual Report and 2023 Accounts can be found at <a

(this is inside the Members' Area so you will need to logon).</p>
<p>The major item at this year's AGM will be the election of a new
President. I am standing down after 6 years in the post, and we
have two candidates: Colin Williams and Gerry Gavigan. Each
candidate has produced a "manifesto", which are attached to this
email.</p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">There will be some minor changes ot the
order of items at the AGM. Item 5 will be considered before
item 4, and item 11 after item 5. This means that the order
will be:</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">Annual Report (includes Officers reports)
(old item 5)</font><br>
<font color="#ff0000">Approval of 2023 Accounts (old item 4)</font><br>
<font color="#ff0000">Dispensation with audit and appointment of
Examiner (old item 11)</font><br>
<font color="#ff0000">Election of Officers.</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">The reason for this is that it is logical
to consider the Annual Report before the Accounts, and the
Dispensation with audit is also associated with our finances
and it makes sense to consider all the financial issues at the
same time.</font><br>
</p>
<p><b>Proxies</b></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">It is now too late to appoint a proxy. If
you have appointed a proxy you may still revoke that
appointment (and if you turn up at the meeting this will be an
automatic revocation) and you may still alter your
instructions to your proxy.<br>
</font></p>
