Your organisation and members are invited to participate in this year’s Annual Parish Meeting which will be held at 7pm on Thursday 23 April 2015 at the Shotley Village Hall.
This is a great opportunity for your organisation to advertise its work to the village; you may wish to bring a display; recruit new members; advertise any upcoming fundraising activities or just let the village know what you have achieved in the last year. It is a friendly and informal meeting and refreshments will be available at the end of the meeting.
Most village groups have been represented in recent years and they will again have an opportunity to present either a brief verbal or written report on their recent activities. If you wish to give a verbal report, please could I ask that this be kept to three minutes and a written copy be sent to me, either by e-mail or to the above address, by 21 April. A copy of your report is needed so that it can be added to the minutes of the meeting and the website. The agenda is displayed on the village noticeboards and the Shotley website. Copies will also be available at the meeting.
Tables are available for those who require them for display purposes, or indeed space for display boards if requested. I would be grateful if you could let me know, by 21 April if you and/or your members wish to come along and what your requirements are, if any.
The Hall will be open from 6.30pm in order to allow for the erection of displays or if you just want to come along for a chat with parish councillors and other participants.
