Consultative Forum.  Once the the formal business of the AGM is completed, the meeting carries on in the shape of the Association’s Forum. This is the opportunity for more informal feedback and discussion about the running of the Community Centre - as well as plans and ideas for the future.

Here are a some important topics expected to feature at the Forum:

• A new drive for volunteers - recruiting for current needs, and for our next generation of volunteer leaders.

• Ideas for improvements to the Centre and to the way it’s run.

NB.  Owing to the Covid-19 emergency, it has not been possible to hold the scheduled 2020 AGM.

Under the Association’s Constitution, the Trustees appointed in July 2019 are remaining in post until such time as a fresh AGM can actually be held.
