Morning all,
I have spoken with the executives and we have decided to postpone the AGM to Thursday May 7th 7pm at Ivor Marsden and TEAMS.
The postponement is unfortunately due to the funeral of Laidley Cricket Club and Laidley Community stalwart Peter Shepley’s funeral being this coming Thursday. As per the constitution the date for any AGM requires 14 days notice so we have gone with the 7th. Nominations for all positions will remain as per the original nomination date advertised.
