Dear LUV members, This is to announce that Linux Users of Victoria, Inc. (registration number A0040056C) will be holding an additional Annual General Meeting at 7pm on Tuesday, 3rd June, 2014. The AGM will be held in conjunction with our regular June Main meeting, at the Buzzard Lecture Theatre, Trinity College (our usual venue -- see http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map). The only business to be considered at this additional AGM is the formal presentation and voting on of an adjusted financial statement. This should take only a few minutes. The rest of the evening will be our usual June meeting. Explanation: The financial statement approved at the last regular AGM, in September 2013, covered the period from the previous (2012) AGM up until that 2013 AGM. We have recently found out that we are required to submit a properly approved financial statement covering instead the financial year July 2012 till June 2013. Even though the financial statements presented and approved at the 2012 and 2013 AGMs together cover that financial year (all our activities have thus been reported to members), Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) requires a single financial statement, properly approved at an AGM, covering the financial year. We've been advised by CAV that the correct way of achieving this is to call an additional AGM whose only purpose is to formally approve the required financial statement, aligned to the relevant financial year. It might seem odd to have more than one Annual General Meeting in a year, but that's how it works. We are required to have at least one AGM per year, but it is permissible (and in this case desirable) to call additional AGMs if necessary to consider matters that formally require an AGM. Note, this extra AGM in June is quite separate from our normal AGM, which will be held in September as is customary. However, at the September AGM we'll know to present a financial statement aligned to the financial year, so this current problem should never arise again. Any questions or discussion about this additional AGM would be best posted to luv-meta@luv.asn.au. -- Linuxy greetings from your LUV Secretary, Les Kitchen.
