Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) - Imbolc Camp 2009
“We are the old people,
we are the new people,
we are the same people,
wiser than before…”
This is Liv, reporting from the end of Imbolc Camp 2009, where an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) has been taking place to establish the future of the new OBOD Camps…
We are delighted to report that with the first snowdrops, a new constitution and structure for a new camps has been created – in the spirit of love, cooperation and with a clear focus and intent.
From the disillusion of the old system and roles – a new constitution and a new team (with some familiar faces) has been unanimously voted in by those OBOD Camp members in attendance.
What we all want to know:
- The EGM held at Imbolc 2009 was to ensure that a structure was put in place in order to enable Beltane and Lughnasah to take place – this has been achieved.
- The agreed and approved constitution is attached – please have a read at your leisure
- The first AGM of the new OBOD Camps will be held at Lughnasah Camp, where the attendance is likely to be at its greatest.
