IWA Oxfordshire Branch AGM will be an in-person meeting on Tuesday 26th March 2024: 7.00 for 7.30pm: Begbroke Village Hall Lounge, 3, Begbroke Lane, Kidlington, OX5 1RN

The AGM will conduct the usual formal business in accordance with the articles of the association

BUT then the membership needs to address the future as the branch faces closure.

Robin Williams was the secretary until last year Roger Badger is having to give up the Treasurers role. The branch cannot just run with one person.

Unless between 4 and 6 people are willing to put themselves forward at the AGM, to take on official branch committee roles, then the likely result will be a vote to close down the branch and pass the balance of Branch funds to IWA’s General Fund.

Please attend the AGM, put yourself forward, stand for a committee positions and to continue the branch’s campaigning work.  Help support the ambition of monitoring and responding to planning applications affecting the waterways in the Oxfordshire Branch area and manning stands at Oxford and Banbury Canal Festivals in September/ October 2024
