School Holidays: Mon 3rd October to Mon 17th October. Many of our groups take a break during this time.
AGM Date:
Our Annual General Meeting will be held immediately after the 10am Service on October 16th 2022.
Items of General Business for AGM
If you have any items of General Business for our AGM on October 16, these will need to be in to the office by the end of Thursday 13th so that the agenda can be prepared. Also, apologies can be received by either office up until Friday 14th or at the meeting itself.
Copies of the Finance Report are now available – if you would like to receive one by email please let Tracey at the Papanui office know. A few copies will be available at the Annual Meeting.
Dan will give a presentation and invite questions and discussion on his study leave material, Towards Simplicity, Harmony, and Generally Being Useful, on 30th October, 6pm in the hall at Bryndwr. You can find the report published in the latest Village News.
A Laptop for our Live Streaming:
Do you have a laptop computer surplus to requirement? The current laptop we are using for the Live Streaming of our Sunday services is Liam’s personal one. We would like to replace this with one that anyone can use. If we can make use of a donated machine or a long-term loan, this will be a cheaper option. The laptop needs to be relatively new (within the past few years) so that it can handle the demands of Live Streaming. Get in touch with either office if you can help.
