• Nmbngee 1985 AGM Photos

  • 2023 AGM Group Photo

    50 Years ago the first members of Nmbngee met on a block of land to discuss starting their own community. Today old and new members came together to revisit the tradition of the AGM group photo.

    Nmbngee 2023 AGM Group Photo silly buggers

    Nmbngee AGM some time in the 1980’s.

    Another Nmbngee group photo which may or may not be an AGM photo. To be honest we didn’t need an excuse for a groupie (like a selfie but for a group)

    This one was one of our more interesting AGM’s. Just joking, it was for a Mainhouse Fancy Dress party!

    Kids in the 80’s playing at the Mainhouse. This is the front of the house where the photo was taken today, this shows the concrete steps that used to exist there.

    Leanne, Jacob and Naomi hold the fort.

  • 2020 AGM Postponement

    Hoping everyone and your loved one’s are well and staying safe from Covid-19!

    AGM Postponement: This year the Office of Fair Trading has informed cooperatives that postponement of AGM’s this year due to Covid-19 is allowed, and that it is not necessary to seek official approval. So the board has elected to postpone this year’s AGM until next year. The board agreed to this measure due to the concerns that broad based participation in an AGM would not be possible even given social distancing measures.

    Director positions will carry over until the AGM 2021, however anyone with concerns about the current positions or who would like to stand for or vote on Director positions before the AGM next year should contact the Board with your concerns.

    You have been emailed or posted (depending on your previous preference for receiving correspondence) your ASF and Levy status current as of the 11th June 2020. Please check your email and junk mail folder if you haven’t received those emails yet. No member is facing 2 year inactive status at this time.

    I have prepared a mid year report and have posted both the mid year report and the End of Year 2019 report in the meeting section of this website.

  • Meeting Notice Will be Emailed to Members

    As per the decision at a recent General Meeting, the board will in future send out agendas and other communications to your email address rather than by post. The purpose of this change is to reduce postage costs and to enable the board to communicate with members more effectively.

    Important – You can Opt Out if you do not wish to receive meeting notices via email:
    If you wish to continue receiving agenda mailouts via post rather than email, please let the board know, otherwise future meeting notices will go to your email address.

    Note: If we do not have your email address, you will continue to receive correspondence via post.

    We have recently posted each member a letter explaining this and checking with you that the email address we have for you is correct.

    Access Agenda Via Website:
    In future Agenda’s will also be posted on the website within the required notice period.  All members who have a website account are able to access the agenda on the website by logging in and going to the member’s library section. If you would like instructions on how to access the website, or if you currently don’t have a website account but would like one, please get in touch with us by emailing info@nmbngee.org (or call Max).
