We live in challenging and trying times, the CRA needs to be relevant both as a Community and as a Citizens organisation. Join us on the day to hear from us and let us hear from you as we go on this journey together.

There will be drinks and snacks available. If you are able to contribute towards the costs of hosting this event, please can we ask you to sign up with an optional donation of R150 (normal tickets are free). A portion of each donation will go to Craighall Primary School.

 

Voting

If we have nominations for the committee that would bring the number of members to more than 15, we will be voting on elections to the committee.

Voting will take place during the AGM and we ask that only those residents who are paid-up CRA members by the 11 June 2024 may vote. Provisional results will be released on the evening, to be confirmed subsequently.

Please note

CRA membership is linked to an individual and not a household. If more than one individual in a household wishes to vote, each individual must be a paid-up member.

Membership is a monthly debit order or annual payment which runs for a year from the date of payment. Participation in the CRA/CAP Public Space Security scheme does not equate to CRA membership and the CRA annual membership fee is separate from these monthly debit orders. 

 

Committee Nominations

The CRA Committee both needs and will greatly benefit from new members. New blood will bring fresh ideas and passion to the work we do for you, our community. There are a number of portfolios that cover various interests – business, communications, community needs, environment, financial strategy, infrastructure, security and town planning, all of which need extra members. If we have nominations for the committee that would bring the number of members to 15 or less, no vote is needed, and nominees automatically become members.

To stand for nomination to the CRA Committee the nominee is required to:

  • be a paid-up member of the CRA
  • be nominated in writing by a paid-up member of the CRA
  • be seconded in writing by a paid-up member of the CRA
  • submit written consent accepting the nomination

The necessary documents (links below) need to be emailed to admin@cra.org.za by the 10 June 2024:

We encourage as many residents as possible to participate in the AGM and, if paid-up members, stand for nomination to the CRA Committee.
As a residents’ association, what we can achieve for you, our residents, is dependent on the involvement of the wider CRA community.
