Many new faces are needed to volunteer, to keep netball operating in the Forbes community.
Positions are declared vacant, and the 2020 committee will be elected at the AGM.
A quorum needs to be in attendance, for the AGM to be held, and all members are urged to come along.
The committee will be looking for many new faces to fill the extra roles that have been created, to share around the volunteering hours.
Many hands make light work.
A General Meeting will be held immediately after the AGM, where sub-committees will be elected and 2020 dates finalised.
Anyone with ideas on anything connected to FNA will be very welcome.
This is members chance to have a say in the running of the association.
A calendar will be finalised, and made available for all members.

Many extra helpers will be again needed to help make the huge day another great success.
Forbes Gala Day 2020
