JOIN US AT OUR UPCOMING AGM AND ACTIVITY MEETING AT THAMES LIDO
Join us on Tuesday the 26th of March from 6:30pm for a 7pm start, until around 9:30pm, for our Annual General Meeting.
What better place to have the Reading Hydro AGM than right next to Caversham Weir, at the Thames Lido? They’ve kindly donated their meeting room for our evening use.
We’ll be quickly going through our AGM business, review of activities and accounts for the 2017 to 2019 period, give you further updates on what’s been happening more recently, and then have an activity evening where you can all contribute. It’s a chance to hear more about key areas of support and skills we may be looking for in the next stages.
Member, community share investor, volunteer or just curious to get involved, we’d love to see you there!
If possible, please let us know if you’ll be joining so we can keep a track on numbers. You can let us know if you’ll be joining either via our facebook event or dropping us an email.
