We’re delighted to announce the Annual General Meeting of Alyth Development Trust on Wednesday 13 June 2018, starting at 7.30 pm, at the Community Wing, Alyth.
The AGM is a highpoint of our year, at which our Members have the chance to hear the latest on what ADT has achieved and what its plans are for the future.? Please do put the date in your diary as soon as possible, and the Directors very much look forward to seeing you at the AGM and hearing what you think.
The meeting will, as usual, consider the accounts and Directors? reports for the year ended 31 March 2018, and also make retrials, appointments and re-appointments of Directors of the Company under Articles 67-72 of our Memorandum and Articles of Association (MAA) – the legal document that governs our activities.
We will circulate the Agenda and other AGM papers at the end of this month, but there is an important matter to discuss and approve and we wanted to give you plenty of time to consider it before the meeting.
We are making changes in the MAA for three important reasons:
- To comply with our new charitable status, which was conferred by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator on 26 July 2017.
- To enable our registration with the Scottish Government under the Community Right to Buy legislation (Part 2 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003) which allows communities to register an interest in land and the opportunity to buy that land when it comes up for sale.
- To amend errors in the numbering system of the articles.
The details of these changes can be viewed by clicking on ?About Alyth Development Trust? at the top of this page and scrolling down to ?Legal documents?.
