2020 AGM complete

Thank you to everyone who voted on the on-line 2020 FSP AGM. We were quorate so the results will stand. All motions were passed without dissent and the new committee members are therefore duly elected.

FSP 2020 AGM

Friendly Street Poets Inc is obliged to hold its Annual General Meeting by the end of April 2020. Due to the restrictions imposed under the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible to have a face-to-face meeting. However, we can satisfy our statuary requirements by having a minimal AGM on-line.

The on-line meeting is open from 9:00am Monday, 20th April, 2020 until 5:00pm Friday 24th April, 2020.

You must be a current financial member of FSP to have your vote counted.

There are four items on the Agenda:
(1) Acceptance of the Minutes of the 2019 AGM.
(2) Acceptance of the 2020 Treasurer’s Report.… Click for more

2020 AGM and Call for Nominations for FSP Management Committee

Due to social restrictions operating under the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, FSP will need to run its 2020 AGM in a minimal form on-line. An agenda with attendance and voting forms will be available from Monday 20th April, 2020.

Meanwhile, we are calling for nominations to the FSP Management Committee. Appointments are for 2 years.

If you wish to nominate, please fill in the form below. No other mode of nomination will be available.

FSP City Meetings cancelled until further notice…

The Box Factory, where FSP has its City Open Mic meetings, has wisely closed for the foreseeable future to minimise risk of transmitting the coronavirus COVID-19. This means we have no choice but to suspend FSP City Meetings until further notice.

The arts community in general as well as the SA writing community in particular is mobilising in many different ways to try to maintain as much activity as possible, mostly on-line, to keep our productivity and community engagement alive.

There are many on-line groups popping up and over the next little while, a range of new opportunities will emerge.… Click for more

FSP meetings and the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic

The next city meeting of FSP was due for Monday 6th April and was to include the AGM and launch of the latest FSP Anthology. Because of the coronavirus covid-19 pandemic and the conditions required to mitigate its spread, this meeting will not be held. 

We are looking at ways of running a minimal AGM on-line to meet our statuary requirements. 

It is totally unknown at the moment when it will be safe to have face-to-face meetings again.

Stay tuned for more details soon … and keep healthy!
