SURPRISE SMBA AGM to be held on 28 DEC!!

TO BE HELD AT BELLS HOTEL, 7.30pm
157 MORAY STREET STH MELBOURNE

Did you get the SMBA email invitation to this meeting?
Many traders did NOT get this email.
Did you know the SMBA was about to hold an AGM at the presidents new hotel?
Did you know the SMBA is about to hold an election at this meeting?
Did you know YOU can be a candidate?
They will vote a new comittee to make decisions including about taxing you.
Will you be included?


Do you think the timing is reasonable?
28 December is, for most, a holiday from business.
Is the timing deliberate?



Doesn't the SMBA want any of the local traders to be there?.
They have scheduled the AGM for the 28th of December, just 2 days before New Years, 
when most people will be away having a hard earned break.
They would know very well that these days between Christmas and New Year
 are often the only break many get.

Are we in for more of the same poor consultation from the SMBA in 2013?
Talk to your neighbours,
Stay informed.
