a few words from our Chair...
We held our AGM last night in the meeting room at Norcliffe Chapel, Styal.
Sixteen members attended plus Simon Hiley (Styal Estate Manager).
Daniel reported on the 2011/12 year (membership, work hours/days/tasks, socials) and thanked the committee, members and wardens for all their work in making the year a success.
Denise presented the accounts for the year to 31 March 2012 and we elected the 2012/13 committee (Daniel, Sue, Denise, Ian, Philippa, Alison, Gordon, Adrian, Charlie).
AOB topics included whether to distribute future newsletters by email, our appetite for weekend trips given the Trust are now charging for accommodation, and a possible Diamond Jubilee BBQ on 5 June.
After an interval for homemade refreshments Simon gave us a very interesting and entertaining talk. He described the roles of Rangers (formerly Wardens) in the Trust, the development plans for the Styal estate and initiatives to engage with innercity Manchester schoolchildren (Youth Rangers). Hopefully Styal will succeed with their application for Heritage Lottery Fund funding as a first step in realising their ambitions.
