Extract from http://
Notice of general meetings (sec307 - sec310)
The minimum full period of notice for all meetings is 14 days, even if a special resolution is to be proposed, except for the AGM of a PLC, which is 21 days. The company's articles may require a longer period. Note that the 'clear day rule' is found in sec360.
A meeting can, however, be held on short notice, if so agreed by a majority of the members who hold at least 90% of the voting rights in a private company (or 95% in a PLC). The articles of a private company may specify any percentage between 90% and 95%.
Notice must be sent to every member, every director and anyone notified to the company as being entitled to a share on the death or bankruptcy of a member (subject to the articles).
Hope this helps:)

If it's a private club such as a sports club this guidance will help.

It's 21 days for a PLC under the Companies Act.
A private member's club will depend entirely on what the constitution says. There's no legal minimum.
Unless the Articles of Association specifically require one there is no such thing as an AGM for private companies now. Companies Act 2006 did away with them. Under Companies Act 1985 it was 21 days. Companies can continue to have "General Meetings" instead if they so wish. Notice required for those is 14 days.

Then the thrid part of my answer applies.
Unless the Articles of Association actually require one there is no requirement for a private company to hold an AGM. A General Meeting can be forced by shareholders or called at the whim of the Directors. 14 days notice is required for one of those, again unless the Articles say something different.
