LOCATION: COGS Crace Garden at Drooka Crescent, Crace. (Type in COGS Crace Community Garden on Google maps.) You can park on either Drooka or Langtree Crescents (entry is via the Drooka Crescent side of the garden).
Please come along. This is your opportunity to hear about what has been happening in COGS during the past 12 months and to ask questions of the COGS Executive. It is also an opportunity to see the Crace Community Garden and to meet other members over afternoon tea.
The meeting will hear reports from the President and Treasurer. The Treasurer will present the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The meeting will also consider a change to the Constitution and associated new policy related to the housing of beehives with COGS gardens (more information about this here). New Life Members will be announced.
Consistent with the COGS Constitution, all COGS Executive Committee positions become vacant at the AGM. Several existing Committee members will renominate, but it is likely we will have a couple of vacancies, so please consider nominating for a position. Thank you to those members who have already indicated their intention to nominate following my call in December last year. COGS is run by members for members: there are no paid employees. Volunteering for the Committee can be a rewarding and valuable experience. Please feel free to call me if you wish to discuss or find out more about what being on the COGS Committee involves – 0411 286 246.
- Agenda.
- Details about proposed beekeeping change.
- Nomination form. You can nominate for any position on the Committee. The nomination must be supported by two members. A completed form can be returned to me (president@cogs.asn.au), or handed in on the day. Forms will also be available at the AGM.
- Proxy form. If you are unable to attend, you can appoint a member attending the meeting to vote on your behalf using the attached proxy form. The form can be returned to me.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Neil Williams
President, Canberra Organic Growers Society.
