Monday 8 September 7pm
Community Space Upper Floor of Hyde Park Picture House

Unfortunately there was not a quorum for our Annual General Meeting on the 10th of August so we will be holding a short Special General Meeting on Monday 8th September at 7pm to formally approve the recommendations made at the AGM.

As per our constitution the quorum will be the number of people attending after 15 minutes rather than a set figure.

You will need to be a member to vote at the Special Meetings but you can join now online or in person before the meeting for as little as a pound.

An initial draft of the minutes from the inquorate AGM are now available online.

Monday 24th June 7:30pm – Hyde Park Picture House Community Space

Unfortunately at our recent Annual General Meeting we didn’t have the minimum number of members constitutionally needed to make any formal decisions. We decided to go through the agenda as planned but all the votes were advisory and will be ratified at a Special General Meeting this Monday 24th June at 7:30pm in the community space on the upper floor of the Picture House. An early draft of the minutes from the Annual General Meeting are now available here on the website.

We hope to keep this SGM brief to approve the 2023 minutes, accounts and election of trustees which can be found on the AGM 2024 page of the website.

Following the meeting we’d like to use the time to have an open discussion about some of the things the Friends should be doing, including the work on the mural which was discussed at the AGM. Or you might be interested in the new typeface for our logo, or in choosing a film for future Friends’ screenings. If you would like to get more involved this would be a great way to start.

It will also be a chance for us to start building on the social side of the Friends and give members a chance to get to know each other and discuss any films they have seen recently which is something we’d like to do more of in the future.

We hope you’ll be able to join us.

Special General Meeting – 1st March 7pm

The Friends of the Hyde Park Picture House online Annual General Meeting on February 1st 2021 was attended by 42 people. It was good to have so much interest. However this number fell below the quorum we needed to make formal decisions. We went through all agenda items and recorded your views in the draft minutes (which will be available soon).

We have arranged an online Special General Meeting on Monday March 1st at 7pm to take the formal decisions needed, guided by the AGM discussions. This time the quorum will just be the number of people attending rather than a set figure.

This shorter than usual Special General Meeting will be followed by discussion of ways ahead for the Friends over the next few years and beyond. We look forward to your contributions on ideas for future activities, working groups and Committee membership, the relationship of the Friends to the Picture House, and what membership of the Friends means. If you would like to raise anything ahead of the meeting please contact us.

Instructions on how to join the meeting will be sent to members via email nearer the time.
