The AGM of North Shields Rugby Football Club Community Interest Company at the Clubhouse, Preston Playing Fields, Monks Wood, Preston Village, North Shields at 12pm, 19TH April 2025

Foreword from the Board of Directors

We are delighted to enclose details of this year’s Annual General Meeting.

The past 12 months has been a period of change for the Company and members of the club have worked tirelessly on the legal process of transitioning fully to a Community Interest Company. In addition, there has been much activity to implement the strategic vision and plan as previously agreed by the members and at this year’s annual general meeting, you will receive an update on progress to date. There has also been much work on improving the overall governance and operational effectiveness of the Company and each of the Directors look forward to updating you on activity to date and also will be updating you on the plans for the coming year ahead.

As per our Articles, the current Board would also remind the voting members that they can propose amendments to the current Articles of Association and also nominate new Board Directors as follows:
• For amendments to the Articles, as per clause 46.1, ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the general meeting must be given to the Company in writing by a person entitled to vote at the general meeting at which it is to be proposed and not less than 48 hours before the meeting is to take place. Such amendments should be sent to the Company Secretary, Tom Gallon at the Company’s registered address.
• For nominations to Director roles, as per clause 23.2, prospective nominees must present their nomination to the Company Secretary (Tom Gallon) by notice in writing to the registered office of the Company. Any such nominations must be signed by two further members and be received no later than one week before the AGM.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to continuing our journey together as a Community Interest Company.

Best regards,

Board of Directors
