The committee meets four times
a year to discuss matters such as past and future meetings, Society
news and the Group's finances. We currently have a committee of ten
dedicated members, but new volunteers are always welcome. The committee is
voted for at the Annual General Meeting in October.
Elsie Willett and Roger Cove stepped down at the 2023 AGM
after many years of dedicated service to the Group. We thank them both for
all their contributions over the years. This means we are looking for two more members to come forward and
join the Committee. Please consider volunteering. We meet four times a year
by Zoom, so it doesn’t take up a huge amount of time and you don’t even have
to leave home!. If you would like to volunteere, please
speak to any member of the committee. Volunteers do not have to be members of
the Alpine Garden Society, but they do have to be a member of the
Bedfordshire Group. Anyone wishing to take up an office must belong to the Society and the
Group. The committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting. The
holders of the offices of Hon. Secretary and Treasurer must be approved
by Pershore before taking on the role. Both David and Tony have been
sanctioned by the head office. The posts of Show Secretary and Webmaster do
not have to be held by committee members. In the event that these posts
are not held by committee members, the officers are allowed to attend
committee meetings when items on the agenda are relevant to their role. These
two posts are not voted for, but approval is gained from the Group at the
Annual General Meeting. The
Group's President is currently Mr Peter Jones. The post of President is
proposed for by the committee and agreed at the Annual General Meeting. This
role is a lifetime position and the one who holds it does not have to be a
member of the committee, although they are permitted to attend committee meetings. They
must be a member of the Alpine Garden Society and the Bedfordshire
Group. The same applies for the position of Vice Presidents, which is
currently held by Mr Cecil Tanner and Mrs Elsie Willett. More
information about what is involved in being on the committee can be found in
the AGS Bedfordshire Group Committee Handbook: |
