The meeting usually lasts about 45 minutes. Members learned  about the work of the Branch and our plans for the future. The Committee welcomed comments and opinions, either through a formal motion, which should have been received in writing by the Branch Secretary by  14 April  2025*, or during general discussion at the meeting. The motion should have been signed by the proposer and seconder, both of whom must be members of the Branch. Only motions submitted in advance and appearing on the agenda can be voted upon. An agenda for the meeting and a report covering the Branch’s activities was circulated with the most recent issue of The Reel.
 

Members were encouraged to stand for election as an office holder or Committee member. Nominees were asked to provide the Secretary with a written nomination by 14 April 2025* signed by the nominee, a proposer and a seconder, all of whom must be Branch members. There are twelve positions in total on the Committee (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary and eight ordinary members). We are grateful to those members who stepped forward and join the Committee to contribute to its work and support Scottish country dancing. As there were fewer  candidates than places, no election was held. It is also possible to help with various aspects of the running of the Branch without necessarily being on the Committee.
