The meeting usually lasts about 45 minutes. You will learn about the work of the Branch and our plans for the future. The Committee welcomes your comments and opinions, either through a formal motion, which must be received in writing by the Branch Secretary by  14 April  2025*, or during general discussion at the meeting. The motion should be 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 will be circulated with the next issue of The Reel.
 

Members are also encouraged to stand for election as an office holder or Committee member. Nominees should 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 hope that members will step forward and join the Committee to contribute to its work and support Scottish country dancing. If there are more candidates than places, ballot papers will be issued to all Branch members with the next issue of The Reel. It is also possible to help with various aspects of the running of the Branch without necessarily being on the Committee.
