Dublin Cycling Campaign AGM
On Saturday 21st September, we will have our 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and we would love to see you there!
Our AGM is our largest and most important meeting each year. We reflect on the previous year’s campaigning activities and plan ahead for the next year. Crucially, we will elect a new team of volunteers to lead the organisation and give them a mandate to make the big decisions on behalf of the Campaign - and generally to lead the way in advocating to make Dublin a more inclusive place for everyday cycling.
The AGM will take place in The Tailors’ Hall, Back Lane, with tea/coffee/cakes from 1pm and business commencing at 1.30pm.
To help us plan with catering and the printing of docs etc., please let us know if you are coming by noting your name here by (latest) 2pm on Thursday 19th Sept. Thank you!
Please note that to attend the AGM (and put oneself forward for any of our Committee positions) you need to be a paid-up member of Dublin Cycling Campaign. If you are currently not a member, you can join up here.
