    How To Run an Annual General Meeting v2

    • Purpose & how to use: Explains the purpose and legal mechanics of an AGM and provides example documents. Use it when planning the team's first or any subsequent AGM.
    • Who it's for: Committee members of incorporated Town Teams, especially Secretaries and Chairs preparing the AGM.
    • Key points: AGMs must be held annually and need a quorum (often five or six members) to make valid decisions, with notice periods of 21 days for special resolutions and 14 days for everything else. Members get one vote each (in person or by proxy), ordinary motions pass on a simple majority, and special resolutions need 75% support. Templates are included for the AGM agenda, a proxy form, and a committee member nomination form.
