East Dulwich Community Centre Association

Annual General Meeting and election of the Management Committee

Covid arrangements


We will be holding our AGM on Monday 19th October 2020 at 7.45pm.


We do not know at the moment if we will be permitted, under Government rules, to meet at the Community Centre. If not, we will hold the meeting on line. Either way, we will do our best to involve anyone who can?t attend.


At the AGM we elect committee members and officers. This year we will include postal voting, either by email or land mail.


To allow enough time for voting, nominations must be received by 5pm on Monday 12th October. Anyone who is willing to stand must have the support of 2 named eligible voters.


Who is eligible to vote?

? Also representatives of organisations using the Community Centre or associated with it.


Who can stand for election?

? Anyone who is eligible to vote can also stand for election including existing Committee members.

Organisations using the Centre may appoint up to 2 representatives without election.


The Management Committee includes four Officers ? Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. These are usually elected by a second round on the night. In these special circumstances, the election will be carried out in one round. Nominees for election to the Committee are required, at the outset, to state if they are also willing to stand for as an officer and in which role.


Each candidate will make a brief electoral statement, which will be posted on the website as they are received.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
