ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024

The Society had its Annual General Meeting, on Saturday, 21 September 2024 which started at midday.

We are starting the AGM with a kaikai put on by the Society, this kaikai was organised by our master chef Arasena Taru with the help of some of those who attended our AGM.

We opened the AGM with a pure and a short welcome then we all enjoyed the absolutely delicious kaikai which was finished off with some dessert, thanks to the team in the kitchen.

We then went into AGM business signing off the previous AGM Minutes. A report was presented by the Chair who spoke about the events and tasks the Executive Kūmiti achieved over the last 12 months, followed by the presentation of accounts from the Treasurer.

We finished off with a round the table, where new project ideas were presented, information about Wellington City Council PAG committee and some other general discussions.
