Important Announcement to all Members

At a meeting held on Saturday, 25th January 2025, the Executive Committee of GAPTC received expert legal advice on the legal status of the organisation. As a result, the Executive Committee approved the following two recommendations:

1. That GAPTC Transition to a Company Limited by Guarantee:

This change will modernise GAPTC’s legal structure and provide greater financial and operational security.

2. That GAPTC Formally changes its name to: 

Gloucestershire Association of Local Councils (GALC)

This new name better reflects the organisation’s role in representing all local councils across the county and is in line with other NALC-affiliated County Associations.

Member councils may vote ONCE on EACH proposal, either electronically (via the GAPTC website) before the EGM or by appointing a delegate to vote on their behalf at the EGM.

Electronic voting takes place by clicking HERE.

Formal notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is hereby given. The EGM will be held on Tuesday, 18 March via Zoom at which a decision on these two recommendations will be made.

Register to attend HERE by logging into the member portal before Friday, 14 March.
