AGM 2005

Maidstone will be the location of the Society's annual general meeting on the 21st May this year. The meeting will be in the morning in the council chamber at Maidstone Town Hall and we hope to be supported by the attendance of plenty of members.

After the business there will be a presentation by one of the Society's Committees about its work and some presentations on other topics of current interest.

The results of the elections will be announced at the AGM. Our President, Paul Oldham, will not be seeking re-election. The council will nominate a candidate for election as President. However, members may put forward their own nominations, as mentioned below. The Hon. General Secretary will be pleased to provide further information and guidance. The new President will have the challenge of leading the Society's preparations for its 150th anniversary celebration in 2007.

Any five members can propose a candidate for election as a member of the Council or as an officer. Nominations have to be received by the Hon. General Secretary by the 1st March at the latest and must be accompanied by the written consent of the candidate.

Further information and guidance can be obtained from the Hon. General Secretary, Mr A I Moffat, Three Elms, Woodlands Lane, Shorne, Gravesend DA12 3HH; email secretary@kentarchaeology.org.uk. Although an application form does not have to be used, he can supply a suitable form.
