AUTUMN SHOWS AND LATE BULB EVENT 2020
Though restrictions in place because of COVID-19 are gradually being eased,
considerable uncertainty remains about when indoor events might be able to
restart. In view of this we are sorry to announce that the Hexham Autumn and
Discussion Weekend shows, and the Late Bulb event in Aberdeen are cancelled
AUTUMN FESTIVAL CANCELLATION AND AGM
MEETING POSTPONEMENT TO THE EARLY BULB
SHOW
We have decided to cancel the Autumn Festival and move the AGM to the afternoon of
the Early Bulb Show in Dunblane next year on Saturday 20th February 2021. Our belief
is that it is unlikely that we shall obtain a quorum if we hold the AGM in November; as
many of our members are shielding or vulnerable. We have considered the possibility
of holding an electronic meeting, but we consider this impracticable. However, we look
forward with optimism(!) to the position having improved by next February so we can
obtain a good turnout for this combined event. The January Dryas will include the notice
for the AGM, and calls for nominations to Council. We should point out that delay of
the AGM is strictly against our Constitution, but the Office of the Scottish Charities
Regulator has said publicly that they will take a light touch regarding such infringements
in view of the current crisis. Current officials will stay in their existing posts until the
new AGM date. Anyone with any concerns is welcome to contact the Secretary Hannah
Wilson by email - secretary@srgc.net for more details
