Each year the Society holds an Annual General
Meeting (AGM). We encourage eligible members to attend in person,
or to vote by proxy if they’re unable to attend.
Before each AGM we send out a Notice of AGM to
all members, normally with their annual statements in the first
quarter of the year. We also put the Notice on our website so all
members have access to it. The Notice is also published in two
national newspapers.
Results of voting on all AGM resolutions are
published on our website after the AGM.
This year’s AGM will take place on
Saturday 22 May 2010 at 11.00am at the Prince
Albert Suite, London Zoo, Regents Park, London NW1 4RY.
Members who are eligible to vote should
receive their notification by the end of March. If you haven’t
received yours by then, please email us at mail@thechildrensmutual.co.uk
or call 0845 600 2685.
2009 AGM at London Zoo
Our 2009 AGM took place at London Zoo in the
Prince Albert Suite at 11.30am on Saturday 9 May 2009. At the same
time over 3,500 members and their families joined us for our
Family Day at
the Zoo.
44 voting members attended the AGM and a
further 570 members took part in a proxy vote by post. Votes cast
this way carried the same weight as those cast by members who
attended the meeting, enabling members who were unable to attend
the AGM to be involved in deciding how our business is
conducted.

Who can vote on AGM Resolutions?
Only members aged 18 or over on the day of the AGM are eligible
to vote on resolutions.
You are a member if you have, in your own name (or jointly in
your name and that of another person), a With-Profits or
Unit-Linked savings plan, endowment, critical illness, sickness or
income protection insurance policy.
If you pay into, or look after, a With-Profits or Unit-Linked
savings plan in the name of a child under age 18, then the child is
a member. They are entitled to attend the AGM, but as a minor
are not eligible to vote. You can also attend the AGM as a
visitor, but you cannot vote on the child's behalf, either at the
AGM or by proxy online or postal vote.
