These are my abbreviated notes from a contemperanous note taken during the Annual General Meeting. As ever any errors or omissions are mine,  if you would like a much longer unedited version please contact me. I hasten to add, I am not the appointed minutes secretary for the Association and these are not to be taken as the official minutes.  MI


The meeting began later than advertised. The reason given was that a minimum of 25 voting members had to be assembled before the meeting could commence. The meeting coincided with a Bingo meeting and we were told that would commence at 9 pm.

The current chair of the Association, Brian Coulson began the meeting by doubting the legality of the meeting. He stated he did not believe the meeting had been advertised for the required 21 days and requested this be reflected in the minutes. After some discussions the meeting carried on.

The vote for new chair was held (as an open vote, indicated by a show of hands). Mr Coulson was duly re-elected, seconded by another gentleman.

Nominations for Vice chair were requested.

Julian Bray (of Park Farm Neighbourhood Watch) and another gentleman, were proposed

Cllr Rush requested a secret ballot this time, and the other gentleman was duly elected.

The vote for Secretary was called, Julian Bray  was elected as secretary unopposed.

Dave Dent,  a lady who's name I don't yet know and myself (Morag Irving) were elected as committee members.

There are still some vacancies on the general committee and if you would like your name to go forward ,
please contact us. In addition members can also be co-opted as required.


Recommendations for any other business:

Dave Dent requested an item for the next agenda was raised allowing time for the Stanground youth projects group to use the centre.

[For elected committee members only. The first full committee meeting is Tuesday 17th May at 8pm (at the Community Centre)]

It should be noted that as a resident (aged over 18 years of age) of Park Farm or Stanground you are automatically a full member of the Stanground [Community] Association. Residents under 18 years of age are associate non voting members who may attend meetings.

We will, within the next few days  have a copy of the current constitution and importantly the map showing who is entitled to vote.
