AGM and Social Evening

Posted on by
 Our AGM and social evening is taking place on Tuesday, 13th June 2017 at 8pm. As well as the formal bit, which we try and keep as short as possible, the evening represents a time when everyone and anyone associated with HAG can get together and socialise, find out what’s happening and get involved. And even better, there will be free drinks and possibly the odd nibble or two.
Anyone can attend: Members, Associates, Friends, Spouses and Pets. The only minor issue is that you have to be a member to vote.

Without wishing to browbeat anybody, this is your group and the more you participate, the stronger the group will be. We need people to get involved in all aspects of the running of the group. If you would like to be on the committee or stand for office, then please let us know (again you need to join as a member). We’d be delighted have you on board. Also, just about every area of HAG activity needs people to step up and support. This includes not just acting but all the back-stage aspects such as set building, sound and light, costumes, stage management, front of house and the bar. Our group succeeds or fails on the degree to which people are willing to get involved.

So we very much encourage you to put this date in your diary, come along, have a good time and hear about all opportunities HAG has to offer.

The formal bit follows…
