Running alongside the Sunday Social in September will be Sugarfoot Stomp’s Annual Appeal: Two 4 Twenty.

Participants who register for the annual appeal will be aiming to complete twenty social partnered dances in two hours after collecting sponsorship.

Can I come to the social dance... even if I'm not taking part?

YES! YES! We need social dance regulars to dance with the Two 4 Twenty participants and help them get their 20 dances. Or even better, why not sign up to take part? Every little bit of money raised helps strengthen Sugarfoot Stomp.

It’s the most important event on the Sugarfoot Stomp Calendar… the AGM 2022/2023!

An Annual General Meeting is held once every year. All current 2022 members may attend and vote at the AGM. Not a Current Member? Interested in joining? You are welcome to attend too! It’s the best way of finding out the strategic plans for Sugarfoot Stomp operations over the coming year and how you can get involved.

The business of our AGM will cover the following (as set out in the Sugarfoot Stomp constitution).

31.1. The business of an Annual General Meeting shall be:

31.1.1. Receiving any minutes of the previous Society’s Meeting(s);

31.1.2. The Board’s report on the business of the Society;

31.1.3. The Treasurer’s report on the finances of the Society, and the Annual Financial Statements;

31.1.4. Presentation of the Board’s Operations Plan for the next financial year;

31.1.5. Motions to be considered; and,

31.1.6. General business

To hold the AGM and continue all Sugarfoot Stomp operations into 2023 we must have at least 6 eligible Members attend to form a quorum.

Membership will open soon after the AGM. Joining early will guarantee member benefits. Sugarfoot Stomp IS the Membership.
