Hello Members
As promised in the February newsletter,we have now published the documents needed for you to nominate your candidates for the forthcoming AGM of Wanneroo Repertory Inc. at the Limelight Theatre. (7.30pm Wednesday 29th March). You can download them here – 2017 Nomination Form, the Organisation Structure and Organisation Chart which are proposed for 2017 onwards.
I would encourage you to read these documents and seriously consider your position in our theatre. Are you interested in being part of the 2017/2018 committee? If so, talk to other members who have had some experience in the various positions, then ask two members to complete your nomination form and make sure you send it to the email – [email protected] by the 15th March.
Also, please make sure you are a financial member prior to the meeting – only financial members can vote, nominate or take office.
We are hoping for a blend of experience and ‘new blood’ to take our theatre forward. Be part of it!
Kind Regards
Shelley McGinn
A/President
Hi Everyone,
Another month, another newsletter and another production in rehearsal ready to open on the 23rd February!
“Moonlight & Magnolias” is rehearsing 3 times a week to be ready for their opening—and things are looking very good! So please, don’t delay your booking, especially as this is only an eight performance production. Following the success of our afternoon tea matinee last month, we will be including a Sunday performance on the 26th which will culminate with afternoon tea! At just an additional $5 to your ticket price, it will be well worth this small investment!
Next month we will be holding our Annual General Meeting on the 29th March. In the next few days you will receive another email (or postal delivery) with all of the details of the positions to be declared vacant and what you or your nominees need to do to be part of our Committee in 2017/2018.
If we are to get a true indication of what the membership as a whole would like to see as the structure of the committee, it is imperative that you are there to cast your vote, as our constitution does not allow for proxy votes.
Something else to bear in mind is that you must be a financial member in order to vote. This therefore excludes our “E-News only” members. As direct payment through the website is not currently possible, you can make a direct payment to (BSB 086 412 Account no. 838458234 using your full name in the reference line); membership subscriptions will also be accepted on the night of the AGM, up to the convening of the meeting.
Shelley
