Ballarat Writers invites members to attend our annual general meeting on 16 February.

We do need to make quorum, so please come along if you can.

The AGM tends to not require a big commitment in time. There is the opportunity to have a meal and a drink along with a catch-up outside of the official business, and there will be a free drink for members to help mark the occasion. 

A key point of business will be the election of the committee to oversee operations for the year ahead. Advance nominations close today, 9 February, but nominations will be accepted from the floor at the AGM.

Some committee members will not be standing again so please consider if contributing to BW and the writing community through a committee role is something you’d like to do. There is a handover plan in place to ease the transition.

We are calling for nominations for the following Office Bearers:

  • Chairperson
  • Treasurer & Membership Coordinator
  • Secretary/Public Officer
  • Competitions Coordinator                                                        
  • Publicity & Media Coordinator
  • General Committee Member 

Note: The position of Treasurer requires skills and experience in finance and/or bookkeeping. Position reports and descriptions are available from the website.

Where: Bunch of Grapes, 401 Pleasant St South, Ballarat
When: 6.30pm, 16 February 2022
Cost: FREE 
Refreshments: Drinks and meals will be available to purchase, and members will be provided with a drink ticket on arrival valid for basic alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, tea and coffee.
Covid: The venue will be operating under the Covid restrictions of the day. Proof of double vaccination is required to attend.
