Thank you to the 40 or so plotholders who braved the cold and attended our AGM. Business was brief as no elections were needed. The new committee is Nick Finley, Les Garner, Annie Griffiths, Kathy Riddle, Gary Sycamore and Trevor Wyatt. The draft minutes to the AGM, which will be formally agreed next year, are here.
