Dear Members, we write to provide a summary advice on important outcomes from the 2025 VGC Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the Club yesterday, 24th November 2025.
The standing items included in the agenda, being the acceptance of the minutes of the 2024 Annual General Meeting, the receipt and approval by members of the Clubs 2025 Annual and Financial Reports and the appointment of Norcrest Business Services as the Club’s Auditors were passed by those present at the meeting unanimously.
Additionally, as members are aware, there has been an election held to appoint the Club’s Greens Director for the 2025-26 year. The President advised the meeting that following the counting of votes cast in the election, Corey Stafford had been elected as the VGC Greens Director. For each of the other Director positions, as there was only one nomination from an eligible member for each of these positions, these nominees were elected unopposed and appointed at the meeting as Directors for the upcoming year. The composition of the Club’s Board of Directors for the 25/26 year is :
Noel McLean – President, Mitch Daly – Vice President, Greg Seaborn – Captain, Scott Payne – Vice Captain, Phil Baker – Treasurer, Narelle Fraser – Director of Women’s, Golf, Corey Stafford – Greens Director, Mick Pullinger – Membership Director, Helen Masterson – Director.
Those present at the meeting also considered 1 ordinary resolution recommended by the club’s Board of Directors to appoint member Ashley Brown as the Club Patron. This ordinary resolution was passed by the members present at the meeting unanimously.
The Members at the meeting were also asked to consider and vote on 2 special resolutions to amend the club’s constitution in relation to:
- the method of voting for members on club matters (to primarily electronic voting) and,
- Director terms of office (with a recommendation to amend terms of office for Directors from 1 year to 2 years).
Full details of the special resolutions considered at the meeting have been previously provided to members (in accordance with the notification requirement as specified in the Club constitution).
Both special resolutions considered by members at the AGM were unanimously approved. The necessary arrangements to give effect to these amendments including the transition arrangements for the change in Director terms of office will now be progressed.
