RB Commerce and Tourism holds AGM

The AGM will be chaired for the election of the executive for the next twelve months – 5.30pm at the Sports Club, Tuesday September 16.

Following the AGM there will be a general meeting. Although the Agenda will be set, it will be an ideal time for members to discuss any  issues they may have in general business.

Any business owner is welcome to attend the meeting but memberships must be paid prior to the meeting to have voting rights.
