15 March 2022 - SP Soc AGM; Coffee Morning update; Planting
Hello everyone,
It’s that time of year again, one you have been so eagerly anticipating, when the SP Society holds its Annual General Meeting. This will take place at 7pm in the Mission Hall on Wednesday 27 April. The doors open at 6.30pm and at 7pm prompt Kevin Pearce will present an overview of the new village website. Not giving anything away when I say that it is very good indeed with lots of facilities and so user friendly that even I can find my way around it. There are also rumours that there might be a couple of other guest speakers as well. At 7.30 there will be a pause for drinks and nibbles – or nibbles and drinks if you prefer – before the AGM proper starts at 7.45. The agenda is what you would expect. Chair and Treasurer reports, Election of officers – Chair and Treasurer - then Election of the Committee. The bulk of the committee will be standing again but there are two vacancies. If you would like to be a part of the committee to assist with village life, or know somebody who would, then before the start of the meeting submit a nomination with the names of the candidate, the proposer, the seconder, and the agreement of the candidate. Candidates may of course be proposed at the AGM itself provided they are in attendance. If you wish to add an item to the agenda your suggestion needs to be with the Secretary, Andy Hone, two weeks before the meeting i.e. by Wednesday, 13 April. During the evening you will be able to pay your annual subscription, which has once again been pegged at £2/person or a maximum of £4/household See you there, I hope.
An update on the Coffee Morning in aid of the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. The total raised was £886 which is a magnificent sum. Well done everyone who contributed.
The Society has purchased 150 hedging plants which the Bio-diversity Group have now planted, so many thanks to them for all their hard work. I should be able to tell you where the plants are, but I didn’t write it down and my memory fails me. But you should be able to spot them as you perambulate around the village.
Information about the celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is winging its way to you through your letterbox and via posters. I’ll report in a later Newsbite.
Stay safe and try to keep smiling
Chris
