25th AGM on Monday 16th May 2011

Summary of AGM from Daniel:

We held our AGM yesterday evening in the Norcliffe Chapel meeting room.
Sixteen members attended plus wardens Shane Bates (High Peak) and Tim
Bowyer (Styal).

Seven people were elected to the committee for the coming year: Daniel
Black, Sue Bonner, Denise Clark, Philippa Greaves, Gordon Irons, Adrian
Potts and Charlie Spiller.

Long service awards were presented by Shane to Hazel Pryor (25 years)
and Adrian Potts (20 years). Well done to both of them.

At the interval we caught up over tea, coffee and homebaked cakes and
biscuits.

After the AGM Shane gave us a very interesting talk about the history of
Kinder Scout since its acquisition by the NT in 1982. Current work is
focused on stabilising the peatbogs by planting heather and cotton grass
and preventing peat runoff by gulley blocking. Watch out for details of
the 30th birthday celebrations next year!
