The 2024 CSPA Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place at Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, commencing in the afternoon of Wednesday 9 October and finishing in the afternoon of Thursday 10 October.
Group circular GC 956 has been issued inviting groups and branches to submit motions for discussion at the 2024 AGM and nominations for the posts of officers, members of the Executive Council and members of the Standing Orders Committee. Please note that the date for receipt of nominations and motions from groups and branches this year is Friday 5 July.
A further group circular will be issued towards the end of July requesting details of delegates, sponsored representatives and observers to attend the AGM.
Individual CSPA members have always been able to attend the AGM, but at their own cost if they are not part of a group or branch delegation. As this is a residential event, these costs are not insignificant.
The Executive Council recognises that many members aren’t covered by active groups or branches than can send delegates to the AGM, so a limited number of members can attend at a subsidised rate of £70 per night. This includes meals and accommodation in a single room. Travel costs are not included, but there is a free shuttle bus service between Coventry Station and the venue. Any member not covered by a group or branch who would like to attend the AGM should contact us on 0208 688 8418 or email enquiries@cspa.co.uk . There are a limited number of places, but those attending will be able to vote and participate fully. This facility is available for this year but is subject to review for subsequent AGMs.
