Annual General Meeting
Our priority is always the safety of our Members and colleagues, which means we had to take the difficult decision to run our AGM differently this year and behind closed doors.
We’re fortunate that some of our colleagues who are classed as key workers, were also eligible Members and so attended the meeting, fulfilling our legal requirements. We know this will have been disappointing to Members, however hope that you understand and agree with the approach. It’s important you still have the chance to hear from our Chairman and Interim CEO and so below you will find the speeches for you to listen to.
Thank you to all of our Members who voted. You can view the resolutions below.
In this challenging time, please continue to take care of yourselves and your loved ones and we look forward to resuming normal service as soon as possible.

To be eligible to vote at the 2021 AGM and have your say on a number of decisions that affect the way we do business, including the election and re-election of the Society’s Directors and the Society’s External Auditors, you will need to meet the following criteria:
As a Shareholding Member (Savers)
- Be at least 18 years old on 23rd April 2021;
- Have a minimum balance of £100 in your Savings Account by 31st December 2020;
- Maintain a minimum balance of £100 in your Savings Account between 31st December 2020 and 23rd April 2021; and
- Have an open Savings Account with the required minimum balance (as above) on 23rd April 2021.

- Be at least 18 years old on 23rd April 2021;
- Have a balance of at least £100 on your Society Mortgage on 31st December 2020; and

Please note: you will only be able to vote once as a Member on each resolution regardless of how many accounts you may hold as either, or both, a Savings or Mortgages customer. Only the first-named Member will be able to vote, as per the Society’s Rules (based on Building Societies Associations’ Model Rules to meet the requirements set out in the Building Societies Act 1986). A change in the legislation would be required to change this rule which is deemed unlikely at present with the Government’s current focus on the Coronavirus and BREXIT.
