New Zealand will move to Stage 4 of the Covid-19 alert system from this Wednesday, 25 March.  That means that all non-essential businesses (like The Office) must close and that ALL New Zealanders must self isolate for at least four weeks.

So we can’t hold a standard AGM where we meet in person.  But our constitution requires that we do hold an AGM before 31 March.

Fortunately, we can meet up in the Cloud.  If you would like to join a Skype-based meeting, please email info@wellingtonfolkfestival.org.nz, cc to sue.harkness.nz@gmail.com,  with your Skype ID before 10am on Sunday 29 March and Sue will give you a “wave” on Skype and email you the papers we would normally table.  We need a quorum of ten people to meet up on Skype and the committee has a significant proportion of this number.  But the more, the Merrier.

Many of the current committee have indicated that they are willing to continue but we are definitely looking for someone to take over as secretary so that Dave can enjoy his new campervan.

We’re working through this
