Annual General Meeting

Every tenant (with their name on a tenancy agreement) at Lister is also a member of the Co-operative, which owns and runs Lister. The AGM is the one meeting we ask all tenants to try and attend.

The 2021 AGM has been postponed from late June 2021 due to Covid. The 2021 AGM was held on WEDNESDAY 22 SEPTEMBER 2021 at Lauriston Hall, 28 Lauriston Street, EH3 9DJ – the Jesuit Church community halls, at 7.30pm.  There was a Special General Meeting (SGM) as well immediately following the AGM. More details below:

AGM 2021 PAPERS – for AGM on 22.9.21 at 7.30pm =======================

Here is the agenda for the meeting Lister AGM 2021 Agenda

The draft minutes of the 2020 Lister AGM (held online) are here: Lister AGM 2020 draft Minutes

Here are the annual accounts which include the auditor’s report Lister Financial Statements 2020-21 (web)

There is a summary sheet of the results from the accounts. Lister finances 20-21 summary note

The list of candidates for the Management Committee are: Re-standing Committee members – Louise Alexander and Jacqui Leith. New candidate: Joanna Dydak. As there were fewer candidates (3) than places available (6), all three were elected. See the webpage About Us/Management Committee for the full list of current committee members.

If you wish to stand for the Management Committee there will be another opportunity at the 2022 AGM in the summer of 2022.

If you need any advice just ask the Lister Office.

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING 2021 on 22.9.21 at 8.00pm =====================

The SGM will start immediately after the end of the AGM, please come to the AGM first and stay on briefly. Here is the agenda for the meeting. The sole item on the agenda is the proposed new Rules (constitution) of the co-op. Lister SGM 2021 Agenda

The Management Committee of the co-op recommends these new Rules to the membership. There are only a few changes overall, but they will enable us to deal with any future Covid situation as they would allow us to hold an online AGM in the future. Here is a summary of the Rule changes. Lister SGM 2021 summary rule changes

Here are our current rules which were approved in 2014 by a SGM then. Lister Rules 2014

Changes to our rules need to be approved by three-quarters of those attending and voting at a SGM.

Here are the proposed new Rules to be adopted. Lister proposed new rules 2021

and here are the same new rules showing ‘tracked changes’ from our 2014 rules. Lister proposed rules 2021 tracked

If anyone has any query wish any detail of the proposed new rules, please contact the Lister office for more information.

If any tenant wishes a printed copy of the proposed new rules, then please contact the Lister office. If approved and then confirmed by the relevant authorities, all tenants (members) will get a copy in due course.

UPDATE: The SGM approved the new Rules unanimously. They will now be processed for final approval by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and introduced once that approval has been granted.

LAST YEAR’S (2020) AGM: ========================================

The last AGM took place on Tuesday 29 September 2020 online . It was an on-line virtual meeting held using Google Meet. The meeting was quorate (i.e. enough members were present or have given a proxy for the meeting to be legally valid). There was no vote for Committee members as there were fewer candidates (four) than vacant places (six). Below are the papers considered at the Sept 2020 AGM:
