The committee was due to change at the AGM in March 2020. We were unable to hold the AGM but enough members voted via email to approve the committee change. Tim Allen, Nicky Schlatter and Mark Dobson have now officially left the committee, although they all continue to help and support. Mark and Nicky have been on the committee for nearly 5 years and Tim has been part of the group leading the project from the very first exploratory meeting in autumn 2012, becoming Chair in 2015. I’m sure everyone will want to join us in thanking them for everything they have done for the shop and café. We are very grateful for the enormous amount of work they have put in over the years.
There are now five of us on the team: Lee Bridges and Fiona Dakin are continuing on the committee, and Mike and Sarah Tremellen are returning after a four and a half year break! We also welcome Debbie Sarjant who will be looking after communications and marketing. The new officers are:
Chair - Mike Tremellen
Treasurer - Fiona Dakin
Company Secretary – Lee Bridges
Communications & marketing - Debbie Sarjant
We have been handling the handover remotely, with committee meetings on Zoom. We are hoping that new people will join the committee when lockdown eases and we are able to operate more normally.
