We had a very successful AGM this year. 25 of our members, both individuals and representatives of societies attended.
We said goodbye and thank you to three longstanding trustees, Anne Hubner, Peter Bates and Arun Agarwal. They were presented with a small gift each.
In their places we elected Maurice O'Shea, Julia Simpson and Tracy Capaldi as new trustees. Maurice had been a co-opted trustee for the past few months and has done some great work on our financial side, last night he was formally elected by our members.
Peter Sheppard our chair was also re-electeed as a trustee, but decided to step back from being Chair. We thanked him for his service. The four officers elected by our members for the next year are Jane Pateman - Chair, Linda Fuhrman - Vice Chair, Jane Jones - Secretary, David Jemmett - Treasurer.
We got the assent of the members to proceed with the planned refurbishment of the old caretakers house, after an explanatory presentation by Maurice.
Another important job for our members was to enjoy a blind tasting of our new wine selection for the bar! Thank you to all who took part in that and helped us choose which wines to stock. We appreciated your input.
