The Annual General Meeting of the Australian MEFF Consortium, organisers of the Multicultural Eid Festival & Fair was held on Sunday 6 November at 206 Humphries Road, Bonnyrigg, Sydney with the presentation of the Annual Report and election of Trustees,  Management Committee and selection of Office bearers.

    This year was a great challenge for MEFF as a number of Eid festivals were being held in surrounding suburbs some on the same weekend.

    A new constitution based largely on the model constitution for Australian MEFF Consortium developed over a period of almost a year during two retreats was finally passed in a special General Meeting (SGM) held on Sunday 23 October.
