A quick note to formally advise that next month’s meeting, to be held on Wednesday 18 October, is the CSFG Annual General Meeting.

Generally, the AGM will take up some of the first hour of our normal meeting (from 7:30 pm). The outgoing committee will report on the activities and our many achievements for the year, and current projects, and the members present will vote in a new committee and office-bearers.

Of course, you’re welcome – nay, encouraged – to nominate yourself if you’re interested in a role on the committee, be that President, Treasurer, Vice President, Public Officer, Secretary or general committee member. And remember that more than one person can nominate for a position (in which case the membership then votes between them). People usually tend to nominate for the committee at the AGM, but if you want to nominate yourself ahead of time, feel free.

Following the AGM, we are scheduled to hear a presentation from the Napoleonic Re-enactment Society. I understand that their presentation is detailed and awesome.
