You can read about the AGM in the constitution on the website here but in summary the agenda will be: a review of CLH activities in 2011; a review of CLH finances in 2011; election of a new committee; any other business and general discussion.

Electing a new committee is an important part of the AGM. If you think you’d like to stand for a position on the committee, please do talk to one of the existing committee about what it involves.

There is a maximum of eight committee members – President, Treasurer and six general committee members. Anyone standing for a position must be a current CLH member, and be proposed and seconded by two other CLH members. Dancing skill or experience is not important, what is important is enthusiasm and being to commit significant time and effort to helping with running CLH and all the behind the scenes work that goes on.

If you do want to stand for a position on the committee, please send your name, the names of your proposer and seconder, the position you are standing for (President, Treasurer or general committee member) and a paragraph on why you think you’d be a good member of the committee, to info@cambridgelindy.com by the end of Friday 17th February.

If there is no competition for committee places (i.e. nominations for one President, one Treasurer and six or fewer general committee members) the society will be asked to approve the committee on a ‘general aye’.

If there is competition for places an election will be organised after the AGM. Please note you must also be a current CLH member to vote in any election.

Please do come along to show your support for CLH and have an opportunity to get involved and give your feedback – there will be some time for general discussion on any points people raise.

(Facebook Event)

This will be taking place at the Sports hall at Chesterton Sports Centre on Gilbert Road, Cambridge.  Please arrive at 1pm, our slot is shortly after.   You can just turn up on the day but if you could let us know in advance if you’re available to take part that would be fantastic.

This is all part of an exciting new dance festival, inspired by the Cultural Olympiad called Chance to Dance organised by Cambridge City Council.  There will also be demonstrations and workshops in other dance styles,  see the event website for details. If you’d like to take part in the whole event participation in the workshops is free, but registration to take part is essential.  But there is no need to register just to take part in the demo.

In-between on Saturday night we’ll be hosting a fabulous CLH evening party – not to be missed either.

Hop on over to the workshop page for more information and book your place!

Book quickly – tickets sell out fast!

Update 5th May: the link to the google map for the evening dance venue was wrong. If you’ve already printed it off or written down directions, please have another look!
