Letter to our Members – Invitation to our Annual General Meeting

Dear Member

 Sunday 26th April, 3.00 pm – Annual General Meeting – Cypriot Community Centre

 

Our Association’s Dinner and Dance on November 29th this year marks the 40th Anniversary of our Association please note the date and book to come with your family and friends, our Association and Charity needs your support.

 

Since our last members meeting we have continued to write numerous letters on a range of issues to high profile national and world political leaders and to the press. In our letters and in public meetings we constantly raise a number of issues e.g. the continued denial of human rights of the enclaved Greek Cypriots in Rizokarpasso by the illegal administration, the rights of the legal owners of properties in occupied north Cyprus, the expulsion of the Headteacher and a teacher from Rizokarpasso. 

 

In the UK General Election on Thursday 7th May 2015, you have one vote to elect your constituency MP. When politicians come knocking on your door to secure your vote, ask them what their views are on Cyprus and use your vote accordingly.  It is essential that you and all Greek Cypriots vote on Thursday 7th May so that we are seen as a politically aware and active community, this will strengthen our voice and our support for justice for Cyprus.   20th April is the last date you can register to vote, you can register by going onto the website below:

£5 Membership is due at the meeting from each member.  This contributes to the cost of the souvlakia at the two members meeting per year, the cost of the summer outing lunch and also entitles the member to vote in the election of the new Committee for 2015-2017.

Archbishop of Cyprus – Chrysostomos II meeting with the Karpasia Associations

Following the very successful meeting of Karpasia Association representatives with the Bishop of Karpasia on 18th March, it has been agreed that when his Eminence The Archbishop of Cyprus, Archbishop Chrysostomos II visits the UK in May a meeting should again take place with his Eminence and representatives from each of the Karpasia Associations/Villages.

The programme for Archbishop Chrysostomos has now been arranged and a meeting has been scheduled with representatives from all the Karpasia Associations/Villages on:

*Friday 16th May at 6.30pm *
*at the Greek Cypriot Brotherhood, Britannia Road, North Finchley, London
N12 9RU.*

This will be an historic visit by the Archbishop of Cyprus at a crucial time for Cyprus and so it is significant that the representatives from occupied Karpasia take the opportunity to meet with the Archbishop so that the voice of the people of the Karpasia peninsula is heard.
