7.30 pm – 9 pm
Birkenhead Library and Civic Centre
View, download and/or print: 2012 AGM Minutes
The focus of the AGM is ‘Our Community’
This will be an opportunity to share your thoughts about the issues for Birkenhead people to consider in the upcoming elections…
Plus you’ll learn about the Birkenhead Civil Defence Response Plan (i.e. what to do in an emergency) and get updates on current local issues, such as the Boarding House at 194 Hinemoa Street.
Please join us – the formal part of the AGM will be short, so there will be plenty of time for updates and discussion of issues.

Why your financial membership is important
Your financial membership is essential, not only to cover costs but more importantly to add substance and credibility to the many submissions that the Committee makes on your behalf. Submissions almost always need to state how many financial members the Birkenhead Residents Association represents – a bit like the United Future situation recently, numbers do matter.

Individual (one person) for $10.00
Family/household or Business for $20.00
Payment options:
- Electronically: Internet Banking or Cash deposit
