Weston Favell Village Residents’ Association Annual General Meeting 2020

Dear Residents’ Association members,

I write to you on this the first day of October 2020, the month in which under normal circumstances we would expect to be holding the Annual General Meeting of the Weston Favell Village Residents’ Association.

The continuing constraints of Covid 19 and rapidly changing rules governing public assembly mean that we are not in a position to formally hold a meeting in the manner of past years or that envisaged by Section 8 of the Association’s Constitution adopted in 2019.

As a compromise and to ensure good order, reports from the Treasurer and Chairman will be circulated to all members in the coming period. It is further proposed that the Association committee continue as currently structured until matters return to something approximating normal, when the appointment of officers and conduct of business can be undertaken with a greater degree of certainty and a proper General Meeting can take place. As a reminder the current committee comprises:

Martin Brown – Chair
Mike Bordiss – Treasurer
Liz Gausden – Organiser Coffee Mornings, Brunches and Social Events
Kay Ingram – Organiser Noticeboard
Josephine Peach – Membership Secretary and Email/Website Administrator
Sue Richards – Minute Secretary and Link Person with friends of St. Peter’s
Sue Wray – Link Person with the Garden Society and the Allotment Association
Carol Askew, Pamela Bordiss and Rob Robertson

Despite this period of uncertainty and limited capacity the Association continues to make itself available as a conduit for communication and support to, and between, its members.  The domain remains an important instrument for the provision of important information to the community and also for the circulation of public announcements from various local authorities and agencies.

In the meantime please look after yourselves. We all look forward to that time when we can once again meet as a community of friends and enjoy one another’s company without concern.

In the words of Dave Allen (Comedian) “May your gods go with you” and stay safe.

Martin Brown, Chair Weston Favell Village Residents’ Association

A record attendance of 87, which proves how successful the Residents’ Association has become.

Speaker was Professor Akeem Ali, Director of Public Health & Well Being

Anne Jones (Chairperson) opened the meeting.

The Committee were re-elected on block.

Anne felt the time had come to stand down and handed over to Martin Brown (our new Chairperson). Anne remains on Committee. As one of the founder Committee Members of the Residents’ Association, Anne has worked tirelessly to ensure we have grown from strength to strength, and also to bring the Community together.

Raffle proved to be extremely successful.
