This year's AGM will be held on Sunday 26 September.

As a result of the priorities emerging from the strategic planning process, the Management Committee is recommending that the whole community focus its efforts next year on the Community Facilities (being the whole site, encompassing Lot 145 and the whole of Market Street all the way to Port Road). We are proposing both 'planning' and practical 'doing' activities in the coming year, including refurbishment of an existing building for multi-purpose use. The Management Committee is also intending to build on the success of the Neighbourhood Group grants from last year.

As a result we are recommending that few, if any special projects outside of those should be funded in the coming year (apart from existing projects already underway). If funds and volunteer energy can be focused on the Community Facilities we could have new facilities in a short timeframe. If, however, funds and energy are diverted into many different areas, the Community Facilities will remain only a long term vision.

Any resolutions for the AGM should be forwarded electronically to Jane O'Connell by email by 5pm on Wednesday 25 August.
