Thursday 12th September, TACS Extraordinary General Meeting
For the first time in 42 years, the 2024 AGM held in Cambridge fell far short of a quorum and consequently various important motions such as that of voting in Officers and Committee were not able to proceed. In consequence, an EGM conducted by means of Zoom has been arranged to be held at 7.00pm on Thursday, 12th September in order to deliberate and, hopefully, gain agreement to the proposals.
Please e-mail: info@tacsuk.org for questions or more details.
