ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2018

We anticipate a larger than normal attendance. Please consider arriving early as you may have to park on the surrounding roads.

Every lady must sign in, which takes time, so please allow time for this.

All lady members of an affiliated Devon golf club are invited to this historically important AGM. The meeting is in The Duckworth Suite at Exeter Golf & Country Club on Friday, 19th January - starting at 10.30am.

The reason this meeting is so important is because every lady has the opportunity to vote on whether the Devon County Ladies' Golf Association (DCLGA) should merge with Devon Golf Ltd (DGL). You will no doubt be aware that we have spent 2017 holding various meetings with golf clubs, men's and ladies' sections and individuals to consult and inform all Devon golfers about the whys and wherefores of merging. The DCLGA Committee are in favour of a merger for many reasons and there are links below to various videos and information to show you what led this decision.

At the DCLGA Delegates' Meeting held in November 2017, clubs voted 31 in favour and only 2 clubs against. Under the current DCLGA constitution, the clubs' votes in favour of a merger means that it goes to the AGM to be voted upon by each individual lady golfer. It would be a strange thing if such an overwhelming favourable vote by clubs - all of whom were extensively consulted prior to voting -  was overturned at the AGM. However, that is our constitution and whether in favour of a merger or not, we urge you to use your vote and come to the AGM. 

The DGL will be holding a meeting at the same time as the DCLGA's AGM, to ensure that the votes from either DGL or DCLGA does not influence the other's outcome. The DGL voting system is the same as at our Delegates' Meeting and is 1 vote per club.
