Mountaineering Ireland AGM Agenda 2016
The Clare Outdoor Club will host the Mountaineering 2016 Spring Gathering. The event will take place over the weekend of the 4th to 6th March at the Hydro Hotel, Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare. We wish to encourage all our members to participate in the event.
Annual General Meeting and Members’ Forum
As part of the Spring Gathering, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Mountaineering Ireland will be held on Saturday March 5th at 5.30pm at the Ritz House, Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare. The AGM is a key opportunity for all members, club and individual members, to agree Mountaineering Ireland’s policy and to be involved in the administration of your representative body. We encourage all clubs to send two delegates to the AGM. Clubs with a membership greater than 100 have additional voting rights (an additional delegate per additional 50 members).
Individual members get a vote each, but if there are more than 20 individual members at the Gathering, a meeting will be facilitated half an hour before the AGM to let the individual members decide how to cast their 20 votes.

1.Adoption of Standing Orders

Members Forum
A Members’ Forum will be held following the AGM on Saturday 6:45pm. The Members’ Forum, like the AGM, is for all members. The Members’ Forum is a key part of Mountaineering Ireland’s democratic process where clubs and members can put forward items to be discussed, and this is often the catalyst for further examination or for a campaign or action to be launched. All members are encouraged to attend this forum and you are invited to submit items for discussion by email to .
