Special General Meeting, 2 September 2026
The Special General Meeting on 2 September voted to adopt the u3a's 2021 Constitution. As a result we are now allowed to use a Proxy Voting System for members unable to be present in person at the Annual General Meeting on 7 October.
In week beginning 14 September we will send out to all members a Proxy Voting Form. This should be returned by 4 October. Please note a returned Proxy Voting Form carries the same weight as a member present in person both in terms of votes and contribution to a quorum.
A copy of the 2021 Constitution can be found on the website at 'Links'.
