5. AOB
5.1 AGM Report life membership
Decision:
It was decided to list the names of all of the life members individually on the official website of PPGUK Reading along with a couple photographs and names as the present. Likewise, it was decided youth above the age of 18 in a household of PPG UK Reading members to register or renew their membership by paying £10 for two years. This topic was decided in previous tenures but will go mainstream/ apply strictly under this presidency.
5.2 Increase communication and outreach
Decision:
Based on the interaction and advice from various members and advisors, we have decided to carry on with Viber as a platform now. Additionally, the messenger is considered to be a platform which can be used parallelly. If a new group is created in messenger, all executive members will receive an invitation and both groups will run in parallel.
5.3 Candidacy fee
Few advisors including Ramesh Shrestha, Yadav Shrestha and member Hina Shrestha (~ Bikram Shrestha) had commented to carry on with previous year’s rate for candidacy fee.
5.4 Charity for the baby
Being an extremely sensitive situation and critical issue, the topic was put forward by the president. She has presented the committee to discuss the opinion of PPGUK Reading to help the child with some funds. It was decided that while everyone could, and some have already contributed financially towards this noble cause PPGUK Reading as a community will not be moving forward for the donation.
