Local artists intereted in taking part in our occasional Saturday art sales should submit samples of their work and CV to Chike- contact details as above. Entry to the show is free, but there is a 20% commission on all sales.

Following last nights AGM we're pleased to announce that Sara Bredemear will be taking the role of Chair of the management committee of WAC.

Sara has been involved on the management committee for the last 3 years as the representative of the Waterloo Legal Advice Service, and has been an active volunteer for the last 7 years.   Sara replaces Robin Pembrooke who is stepping down as chair, but will remain as  a trustee of the organisation.

One of Sara's first jobs is organising the WAC staff and volunteers Xmas Party on the 16th December!

 You can contact Sara through the reception at WAC.

Notice is given of the proposed constitutional amendmens to WAC's constitution for the AGM on the 3rd December

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE WAC CONSTITUTION

Date - December 3^rd 2008

1. Special Resolution  (needs passing by a majority of people present)

That Clause 24 of the articles of association be amended by the replacing number 10 with 6. The Clause currently reads “Unless otherwise determined in General Meeting the number of members of the Management Committee shall be not less than 10 nor more than 25”

This is proposed by the WAC Management Committee.

Explanatory note:

The intention  is not to reduce the number of management committee members but to give WAC a margin of safety. At present if we fell below 10 e.g. people died, WAC would not be allowed to operate, to pay salaries etc.

1. Constitutional amendments proposed by WAC Management Committee.

A)    Two new clauses to be inserted  in Section 6

First additional clause (6d)

“Membership of the Company, with the exception of those covered in clause 5, shall be confined to people living in Waterloo (the area bounded by the Thames, Blackfriars Rd and Lambeth Rd) or elsewhere in the London Borough of Lambeth.”

The second amendment will be an additional clause (6e)

“ Membership of WAC shall be for a year”

B)     Clause 29 b, as currently described, gives a place on the Committee to “A representative appointed by the unpaid staff taking part in the advice and information  service provided by the Company”

The proposed amendment to this clause is

“a representative appointed by the volunteers within WAC”

Explanation: This is proposed as we are looking for representatives to represent all volunteers in the centre, not just from the advice and information services.
