The Annual General Meeting of Central Yorkshire County Scout Council will be held at Christchurch, Xscape, Colorado Way, Wakefield, WF10 4TA on Tuesday 26th September 2023 at 7.30pm.

All are welcome to attend but only Council members may vote. Membership of the Council is given in POR 5.4.2.8; please contact me if any clarification of the list is needed.

The Annual Report and Accounts together with other documents will be uploaded to the County website at least a week beforehand. If there is a need for a vote for membership of the Trustee Board then this will be done electronically and not at of the meeting.

The Secretary and Treasurer are willing to stand for re-election. Additional nominations can of course be made for both positions.

Nominations for the election of members of the County Scout Council to serve on the County Trustee Board are invited. The Constitution provides for the election of eight members, each to serve for a period of two years. This year there are four places available for a two-year term. Nominations should be made on the form that can be found at:  AGM-Trustee-Nomination-2023 and returned to me by Tuesday 19^th September 2023. Late applications will only be accepted if there are vacancies after the closing date. I am happy to receive nomination forms by email. Nominations may be made and seconded by any adult member of any Scout Council in the County however only persons who are members of the County Scout Council are eligible to be nominated. Any non-Council member interested in joining the Trustee Board should contact me or the County Chair, david.grindrod@cycscouts.org.uk org. There are some restrictions on being a trustee and hence on Executive Committee membership. These restrictions are given in POR rule 13.1.1.

Members wishing to stand for election should be aware that the Trustee Board normally meets up to 5 times a year on Monday evenings. Meetings are held in the County Office, Crossgates, Leeds, LS15 8QR or online using Microsoft Teams.  Many members further support the County by participating in sub-committees or assisting with projects.
