20.01.2022 Greetings everyone Following discussions today with President John we wish to formally advise - what you may have already expected - that our 2020 AGM rescheduled for Tuesday, August 11th has been cancelled - or at least postponed to a date at some unknown time in the future! Organisations/Groups such as ours were all given a 3 month extension of time by Consumer Affairs Victoria to hold their AGM's - but with the current worsening of the coronavirus situation in our state, g...roups are now required to apply for a further extension of time - and this has been done today. So we regret that our usual fun-time AGM will not take place this coming Tuesday and will advise you asap when such could take place...... later in 2020 or perhaps even in early 2021!!!! Meanwhile we trust you will all keep safe and warm in these difficult and uncertain times. Brendon (YHS Secretary)
