The Victorian Kendo Renmei Inc Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday 28th March 2004 at 1:00pm at the Kenshikan Dojo, 91 Rosslyn Street, West Melbourne.
All VKR Executive positions will be declared vacant and elections will be held to vote in a new VKR Executive for 2004. The closing date for all nominations will be Sunday the 21st of March 2004.
This year, the elections will be decided by a "show of hand". Proxy votes will not be accepted at this AGM, so it is especially important to attend in person to ensure that you can have your say at this year's VKR AGM.
