Dear Members,

Heads up! Our AGM is fast approaching.

It will be held on Saturday 5th July 12.30pm at the Hive, 184 Boat Harbour Drive, PIALBA QLD 4655.

We will also be providing refreshments afterwards so would appreciate an RSVP for catering.

This will be a great opportunity to meet the new committee and other members.

How does an AGM work?

Well, on the day, all positions are declared vacant which means any current paid up member can be nominated for a position or can vote on the nominations.

The rules are simple.

  1. You must be nominated prior to the day by a paid member.
  2. You must have a current membership.
  3. You must be there on the day if you are nominated or wish to vote.
  4. Nomination forms can be downloaded at the bottom of this page. Completed forms must be received by the Secretary by email 2 weeks prior to the AGM, that is no later than 21 June 2025.
  5. If no nominations are received for a position prior to the AGM, nominations may be taken on the day from the floor.

How do you know who to vote for?

Each nominated member will need to submit a Biography to the Members Forum to give everyone an idea who you are and what you think you can bring to the role.

Your Bio:

No, it’s not scary.

You will need to put your name, the position nominated for and what skills you can bring to the role. Post it up on the members forum at the latest 2 weeks prior to the AGM.

What can I be nominated for?

President, Secretary or Treasurer.  These roles form the Executive Committee.

There are a further 4 Committee members roles to be filled. These positions assist the Executive committee in support roles such as Shed Coordinator, Vice Treasurer and Social Media. The Executive committee will allocate these roles to the 4 elected Members after the AGM. (Their preference will of course be considered.)

If you have any questions or if you’re interested in nominating for a committee role but aren’t sure who can support your nomination, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Secretary. We’re happy to assist and can help connect you with other members. You can also reach out or RSVP through the Facebook Members Forum – or by email.

We would love to see you all there!

Joadi Bartlett,

President, HBWS
