Invite to important meetings for the people of Cove & Altens
The Loirston Annexe Steering Group meetings:- These meetings have always been open to all, but after the response of the public meeting held on the 17th January, it has been decided to increase advertising and encourage all who are interested to attend. Have your say, or just keep abreast of where we are. The main focus of the next meeting planned for Wednesday 1st February will be to form a list of the tasks that will need doing – a list of volunteering opportunities if you like. Special meeting on 15th Feb:- Again, following on from the good response on the meeting of the 17th January, this meeting is inviting all volunteers who wish to take on the opportunity of being a Management Committee member. This meeting will set the date of the next meeting to appoint the office bearers from a maximum of 15 volunteers that ideally
form a cross section of the community / users of the centre. |
