Dear Members

As notified in my previous email dated 08 January 2025, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the club will be held at the UBS clubrooms (Plenty Hall, 21 Memorial Drive, Plenty) on Sunday 23rd February 2025, immediately following the completion of the Adult Bird Pre-selection show.

In reviewing the Club’s Rules of Association, I note an issue under Rule 20 that needs consideration for potential amendment at the AGM.  In accordance with Rule 14, I am giving due notice (at least 21 days) that the following matter will be raised at the AGM under Rule 12(d).

In part, Rule 20(b)(ii) states that the Committee (of the club) will include two ordinary members of the Committee who shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting each year (in addition to the officers of the Club)

For some years past, we have elected more than 2 additional members to the Committee (i.e. not consistent with Rule 20(b)(ii).  I propose that we would like to continue with more than 2 additional members on the Committee and therefore that Rule 20(b)(ii) should be amended as follows: at least two ordinary members of the Committee who shall be elected at the Annual General Meeting each year

Regards, David Spink

Secretary, United Budgerigar Society Inc.

CHANGE OF CLUB MEETING PLACE & HALL.

We are pleased to announce that our club events will now occur at the Plenty Hall – 21 Memorial Drive, Plenty.
This is just off Yan Yean Road and only 5 minutes from the end of the Metropolitan Ring Road.
This hall is twice the size of the old hall. It’s another fine, heritage-style, timber hall. It boasts ample parking as well as many other great features. There is even a popular café and coffee shop a short walk away (approx 50 meters).
