Your new committee

We had a fabulous turn-out for the AGM last night. Thank you to everyone who came or sent messages of support. For those who are wondering, your new committee members are:

Lucy Jackson, Chair
Pauline Rigby, Secretary
Claire Burditt, Treasurer
Jill Manning, Fundrasing Co-ordinator
Terri Morely-Blackwell, Chief Lifeguard

We also raised £100 on the night, and a further £150 was pledged.

A huge thank you to the outgoing chair, Terri, who has done the most amazing job keeping us all motivated and positive over the last six months, despite setbacks like the boiler. She also printed and distributed leaflets to the whole of Northleach yesterday, which goes well beyond the call of duty, especially at 28 weeks pregnant. Thank you Terri!

The minutes will be circulated as soon as they are ready. (Note to self, must type faster).

UPDATE: Minutes are available here.

AGM - 8pm Wednesday 27 April

The AGM of Friends of Northleach Swimming Pool will take place at 8pm, Wednesday 27 April, in the Midwinter Room at the Westwoods Centre. The Town Council has very kindly let us have use of the room for free.

By the time we meet, the pool equipment should have been inspected and tested, so we should know the lay of the land this year. We’ve fixed one burst pipe caused by the harsh winter. Hopefully, the boiler will pass its annual service. Fingers crossed!

This is the meeting where the three Officers get elected for the next 12 months. Claire and I are happy to continue volunteering for the pool, but we need at least one other person to join the Committee, either as Chair, or Secretary, depending on where their skills lie. Don’t worry, we won’t drop newcomers in at the deep end! If you know anyone who would be interested, please invite them along. They don’t need to be a parent at the school; we welcome anyone from the local area who is willing to help us keep things going.

The agenda for the meeting is as follows:

1. Welcome to new faces
2. Heads of Agreement
3. Pool equipment update
4. Fundraising for 2011
5. Election of Officers
6. AOB

If there’s anything else you would like to add to the agenda, just let me know.

Thanks and see you there!

UPDATE: Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Election of officers has been added to the agenda.
