Burtle Village Hall – AGM

 

On Wednesday May 18^th the Burtle Village Hall held its annual AGM.  As expected there were a number of members standing down on this occasion creating an opportunity for new members, many of whom were new to the village, to step forward and take on this weighty responsibility.  Minutes and reports were read out and approved an new members proposed, seconded and voted on.  The new committee then exchanged seats with the outgoing committee and got down to business.  With no obvious Chairman being proposed Tony Spiller offered to be co-opted on and take the role, at least in the short term.  The other officers were then duly proposed, seconded and elected.

The following nominated representatives from local communities were also welcomed on the committee

The new committee then agreed to meet monthly on the First Monday each month in the Village Hall at 8.00pm.  Villagers are always welcome to attend and observe.  A vote of thanks was then taken for the hard work and effort of all the outgoing committee members with a special mention for Chris Lush who has been Treasurer for over 10 years, Richard Masters as Bar Manager and Hall Manager for over 5 years and special thanks to Maureen Perdue who as Chairman, vice-chairman, booking-secretary, bar staff and organiser of Café Burtle and other regular events over many years has made an immeasurable contribution to the hall and the village.  We all wish her a very well deserved rest from the committee.
