Hinckley AFC can announce that the club’s 2023 Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday 23rd January 2024.
It will take place at the New Plough Inn, 24 Leicester Rd, Hinckley LE10 1LS, with an 8.30pm start.
Full details, agenda and related documents will be emailed or posted to all members in due course.
The Board
The three co-opted board members Lee Sharrard, Liam Finn and Ben Wykes will all step down and will need to stand for election to remain on the board. The elected Directors due to stand down by rotation, according to the club constitution, are Mark Langley and Jason Tipping. There are six directors remaining, so will be a maximum of six vacancies for the club board.
We will announce which directors will seek re-election in the coming weeks, and as usual the club are encouraging any of the members who feel they can make a difference to stand for election to the Board and help us continue to push the club in the right direction. The ideal candidate would need to make themselves available to attend as many matches as possible, including Hinckley AFC Under 18s, to help with all the matchday duties.
If you wish to stand as a candidate for election to the Board, please download the Board Nomination Pack at the bottom of this article. Read thoroughly and complete the Candidate Nomination Form, returning the form to the Company Secretary, David Jackson, either personally at a match, or by post:
Hinckley AFC Company Secretary
111 Factory Road
Hinckley

The deadline for nominations will be Tuesday 9th January 2024, 14 days before the AGM.
