An informal election was held and the general view of the meeting was that last year's chairman and vice-chairman should continue in their roles - Nick Chaplin was duly elected as Chairman and Julian Daley as Vice Chairman (in his absence - to be confirmed as acceptable with JD).

Schedule of Meeting Dates

As not all committee members were present it was not possible to agree a full schedule of meeting dates, however it was agreed that it would be useful to hold a meeting on Wednesday 14th September, 2005 at 8pm to discuss any issues arising in advance of Village Day (see below).

Further meetings in late October (bonfire pre-planning) and early December (Christmas parties) were suggested, but no firm dates set.  The next AGM will be on Tuesday 18th July 2006 at 8pm.
