SBU Annual General Meeting
Read the SBU Report for 2011-12 here. This year’s AGM on Tuesday 29th May will be unique in that there will be a contested election for President.
Council’s nomination is Michael Ash whose experience in business and politics as well as bridge itself will be invaluable in these testing times both financially and in the run-up to the Commonwealth Nations Bridge Championship.
The second contender is Archie Bouverie.
We would encourage members to attend the AGM but if that is not possible proxy votes are available.
Proxy forms can be downloaded here.
