Save the Date - AGM 2020
04 December, 2020
The Annual General Meeting of Barryroe GAA Club will take place Wednesday the 16th December 2020 at 8:30pm. Given the current COVID related restrictions surrounding indoor gatherings, this meeting will held online via Microsoft Teams. This virtual AGM is the first in the club's history. To ensure this goes off smoothly, we would ask all members and interested parties who plan to attend to take note of the following detail:
AGM Meeting Invites
We ask that all members and interested parties who wish to attend the virtual AGM to send an email to [email protected] All of these attendees will receive a Microsoft Teams email invite in advance of the AGM. Please note only these individuals will be allowed virtual attendance on the night. This is in line with security measures for running online meetings. All requests to attend the virtual AGM should be submitted no later than Thursday 10th December.
Meeting Moderator
The club secretary will moderate the meeting on the night. All attendees will be muted by default. Our preference is that if any attendee wishes to speak about a motion, they submit their intention to speak in advance of the meeting. Those attendees will then be unmuted in a structure fashion by the Secretary. The procedure for making an adhoc point on the night will be shared at the start of the meeting. See Motions section further below.
