The Queensland Pups & Handlers Annual General Meeting will be held on February 23rd, 2025 at the Sportsman Hotel, Spring Hill.

What Is an Annual General Meeting?

Under our constitution, a general meeting of the members must be held each year to vote on certain things.

Can anyone attend the Annual General Meeting?

All current financial members can attend the meeting and are entitled to vote. Check you membership status at our TidyHQ portal.

Should I attend the Annual General Meeting?

Yes. Q-PAH is a club which belongs to its members. Every member has an equal say in these important matters and your vote means a lot. Voting at a general meeting is how you can help shape the club into what you want it to be.

Do I need to attend in person to vote?

No. Proxy forms will be distributed 14 days before AGM. You can nominate a proxy of your choosing, or the chair of the meeting. You can direct them how to cast your vote, or leave it to their judgement on the day.

What will be voted on at the Annual General Meeting?

There will be four things to vote on at this meeting. They are:

1. To appoint an auditor of the club, only in the case that one is needed.
2. To adopt the Financial Report of the club, presented by current treasurer Pup Bucky
3. To vote on a new Life Member, which will be advised on the day
4. To elect the new Management Committee to lead the club for the next year.
   

About Auditor Appointment

An external audit is no longer legally required for a club of our size, as such we will appoint an auditor with the caveat that they will only be engaged if our income or assets increase to the level where an external audit is actually required.

About The Financial Report

The financial report shows members of the club our income and expenses for the year. All members are entitled to read the financial report and vote on whether to adopt it. It will be made available prior to the AGM.

Joining the Management Committee

Nominations for Joining the Q-PAH Management Committee in 2025 are open from the 25th of January 2025, to the 5pm on 8th of February 2025.

Several members of the current Management Committee have indicated their intention to retire at the end of this term so it's a great time to volunteer yourself to join the Management Committee. Any paid member can nominate themself for any position on the Management Committee. If you are interested in doing so, simply complete the form below:
