"Our Centre is an important part of the lives of so many of our Members. This is the once-a-year opportunity to look at what has occured in the last financial year and where we go to from here. It's also an opportunity for our Members to practice the teachings by contributing their skills and time by nominating for committee positions, and to vote for those they believe to be best for the Committee positions. Nomination forms should have come out with the notification of the AGM to members on 15 February. If you need one we can email them to you. Proxy forms were also sent out so please return those to the Centre if you can't attend. I look forward to seeing you on the 27th". John Waite-Director HBC
