The meeting will happen in the main open space in Machspace, with the sofa area available (and if the weather is good, the courtyard through the back door) as quiet space.

AGENDA

Introduction

Tanya will introduce herself as the chair and set the tone of the meeting, giving guidance on how we will proceed.

We need 10% of our membership to be there within half an hour of the start of the meeting to continue as a “quorum”, which is 8 people at the moment. (Our membership is currently 82 members.) If we don’t have 8 people within 30 minutes of the start time, we have to adjourn to the same day and time in one week, i.e. Monday 10th June 2024 at 6pm, or the chair can choose a better day and time with member approval. (See page 14 of the AoA PDF.)

1. Financial report

This will be presented by Chris Richards (director, she/her). It will be an overview of our financial situation so far, including donations and grants.

2. Progress report

This will be presented by Penny Tristram (director, she/her). It will be an overview of what we have achieved so far.

3. Plans for the future

This will be presented by Cassian Lodge (director, they/them). It will be a summary of our focus and intentions for the next 6-12 months.

4. Member contributions

Any agenda items (proposals, votes) that members sent to hello@machspace.org before Saturday 1st June 2024 at 12pm noon will happen now.

If members would like to express any opinions/feelings about anything that has been discussed so far, that will happen now.

5. Closing

As it’s our first AGM, this will be a “meta” section to discuss how we feel the meeting has gone, what we liked, and what we would like to do differently next time.
