AGM 2026 Highlights
It was standing room only at our 2026 AGM with more than 70 attendees and numerous nationalities represented. Members were able to mingle with those they hadn’t seen in a while and of course make new acquaintances.
The outgoing Board Members were applauded for their tireless efforts over the year(s). A special recognition of thanks went to Maryann Barnacle for her dedication to Centrepoint and her expertise in setting up the new website.

The slate of new Board Members was approved and reflections on the challenges and future opportunities were discussed. Especially interesting was the demographic breakdown pertaining the membership. Also, a wonderful presentation covering the recent photo competition with prizes for the winners took place. Congratulations to all.
If you were unable to attend the AGM and the lively post-meeting Apéro (featuring a tasty assortment of Häppchen and fingerfoods from our friends at Tibits), we hope to see you at an upcoming talk / workshop / excursion, soon.
