AGM status update

Dear Members,

As anticipated and communicated to you with the Annual General Meeting (AGM) documentation, the Society is following government advice in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and we will therefore be holding the AGM behind closed doors. The meeting will still go ahead and be held at our Head Office on Wednesday 21 April 2021, but unfortunately members will not be able to physically attend.

Our priority remains the wellbeing of our staff, members and suppliers.

Q: How can I watch/virtually attend the AGM?

Any members wishing to attend should contact the Society by 12pm on 21 April 2021 so that attendance login details can be provided

Q: What happens if I have a question for the Board?

There may be the facility for members to ask questions on the day, via the online virtual AGM, however, we suggest that these are submitted beforehand, to ensure they are received and can be addressed. You can submit a question via email at agmregister@penrithbs.co.uk or by phone to the Secretary on 01768 863675. However, please be aware that this is an AGM and therefore the matters to be dealt with are those related to that meeting.

Q: How do I use my vote?

If you have received a voting pack and have not yet voted you can do this in the following ways:
• Online by midnight Sunday 18 April 2021
• By post which must be received by the Scrutineers by midnight Sunday 18 April 2021
• Placed in the post box on the branch front door by midnight on Sunday 18 April 2021

Please refer to your voting pack for full details. You can vote online if you are eligible.

We will provide any further updates and/or information relating to changes due to COVID-19, such as branch opening hours or accessibility, separately on the website.
