Kingsway Villagers

Folks

I know we have said we have delivered leaflets about the forthcoming Residents Association meeting, but with so little time left we have not been able to hit everybody in the Village. It has been impossible to get enough leaflets and the time to visit everybody’s house, so I would really appreciate it if you could mention the meeting to your neighbours if you see them, and hopefully the word will spread about it.

I would like to thank Clive and Sarah for helping to deliver leaflets as we are all just residents and to give up your time (in the rain) to do something like this for free is just what is needed!
Also thanks to the Parish Council for doing the printing for us, otherwise this would have to have been funded out of our pockets, so I’m very grateful!

Now all we need is for everybody to turn up (when we get the final word on the venue)!

I just thought I’d put a post up detailing what I know about the meeting on Friday.

The location is still assumed to be the Community Centre, but Cllr Bryan Claridge is still chasing it.
Any issues and/or venue changes will be posted as soon as they are known.

The actual meeting will be chaired by the Parish Council to ensure it is properly done and has oversight!

The agenda will (roughly) be:

• Welcome and introductions
• Overview of the Association and what is required of the meeting.
• Job descriptions to be filled.
• Election of officers.
• Any other business.
• Date of next meeting.

Apologies for things not being more definite. As soon we have any more information it will be passed on.

To say a bit more about the roles:

We will need to elect at least a Chair-Person and a Secretary.
The Chair will be responsible for running meetings and representing the organisation.
The Secretary will be responsible for ensuring that people know what they are supposed to be doing and for keeping minutes of the meetings.

These are very rough and will not be the only roles, but are the minimum of what we will need to allow a mandate to be developed and push the organisation on. I would like to see a Social Secretary too, and any other role which may be useful.

However, people do need to volunteer for these roles and be willing to do them, otherwise nothing will happen except wasting everybody’s time, so please think carefully about whether you can contribute!

Hi All,

Just to pre-warn you that we will be knocking on doors on Wednesday evening 19:30h onwards, to drop off a leaflet about the Residents Association.

Thanks to Cllr Bryan Claridge for printing the leaflets and dropping them off today, its appreciated

Cheers,
Barry

Just to let you all know progress, Clive and I have designed a basic leaflet and Bryan Claridge has very kindly taken on the printing of these things!

If things go as planned, I was hoping to have a walk around on the evening of the 28th May (Next Wed’) to hand them out to the village.

The only issue that has arisen is that if the Community Centre is open, it might not have furniture in it, so we may need to improvise!

The more people we can get to, the better it will be! Also getting flyers on notice boards etc would be good too!
