      <title>Annual General Meeting</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Our Annual General Meeting was held on 11 March, from 18.00 to 19.00 at the OIDA restaurant. A big thank you to all who could make it. It was great seeing familiar faces as well as new ones. It's always a good time when golfers get together!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At our meeting we addressed issues that were left open from the 2025 AGM, reviewed the financial statement and discussed the upcoming season. A lot of wonderful tournaments and events to look forward to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We elected the Executive Committee for the upcoming season and we said good-bye to two of our long time supporters. After many years of support and organization, match play coordinator Goeran Appelgren has turned over the reigns to Mathew Geertsten. Goeran will be truly missed, but we are lucky to have Mathew step in as coordinator this year. And our treasurer of 7+ years, Glenda Wolstenholme also stepped down. We will miss her patience and support for sure. Hopefully we will see them on the greens!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our newly elected Executive Committee is below. Kindly note the name of our new treasurer. You will get to know her quite well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;President: Lisa VILLARD&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Vice President: Enrico CASAGRANDE&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Treasurer: Daniela DUDULEANU&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Secretary: Steven EALES&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Captain: Irene HUBER&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Vice Captain: Mathew GEERTSTEN&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Vice Captain: Mark O’CONNELL&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Activities Convenor: Mary Lou KELLY&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A summary of the meeting will be sent to the membership soon along with a start of the season email. Once again, a big thank you to all who could attend and we look forward to a fun and exciting golf season.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Extraordinary General Meeting</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;An Extraordinary General Meeting was held on Wednesday, 15 May 2024, at 1700 Vienna time via Zoom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As mentioned in the invitation to all members of the UNGC, this meeting was held in order to adopt changes to the Statutes which would allow the club to become a ‘Verein’ under Austrian law. This will enable the club to be in compliance for banking purposes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At this meeting, all proposed changes were discussed as well as questions, comments and suggestions sent in by email from members before the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After some discussion and resulting amendments, the Statutes were approved by acclimation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will now move forward with the submission of these Statutes to the Austrian authorities and will keep the membership up to date with the progression.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
