22 August 2025 – AGM and revised constitution for ratification

The Levin Folk Music Club will hold its Annual General Meeting on Friday 22 August 2025.

A major item on the agenda this year will be the draft revised constitution, which will need to be ratified by all members at the AGM.

This has been looming over us for a few years and our AGM this year will be the final date possible for it to be approved.

In reality there is not a lot that is different from the current constitution which was passed back in 2012. A few items have a little more detail about the committee, and the major addition, (which is a compulsory part to keep the Incorporated Societies Act happy), is a section on Disputes Procedures.

You can access the final draft of the revised Constitution for ratification here.

The AGM is also the time we look forward to any suggestions for changes that you would like to see happen in the club. If you wish to actually see some changes happening, you will need to put your thoughts in the form of a motion. These motions must be received by the club at least two weeks prior to the AGM. They will be sent out to all paid up members prior to the AGM so that discussion can take place and a vote can be made at the meeting.

As mentioned previously our Club’s committee is only just meeting the required number for our existence. At least one current committee member is resigning at the AGM so our Club must have new people willing to join the committee. We are all ageing and need to pass the roles on at some time ….! Please do consider whether you are able to help the Club in some small way.

Levin Folk Music Club 2025 AGM, 7:00 pm Friday August 22nd at the Horowhenua Scottish Society Hall, 155 Bartholomew Road, corner Bartholomew Road and Middlesex Street, Levin.
