In accordance with the stipulations of Section 8(a) of the NHSA Constitution (2016), notice is hereby given of the fourth Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the NHSA to take place between 15h00 and 17h00 on 19 February 2021, via Zoom Webinar, which members are able to join on their computers or smart phones.
Due to Covid related issues the 2019/2020 AGM could not be held in 2020.
Agenda for AGM: 19-02-2021
In light of
the number of requests to attend the Natshoot AGM on Friday 19 February 2021,
Exco has decided that it is a better option to rather do the AGM as a webinar as more people can attend if they would want to in the safety of their own environments.
The link to
the webinar will be sent to members per Email on Thursday morning - 18-02-2021.
Members may login to the meeting from 14:50. The webinar will close at 17:00
