Residents Association Update
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!

Thanks Baz
I distributed more leaflets today and am now confident that the vast majority of the Village has been notified.
1 or 2 houses received 2 leaflets, sorry about that but - in some areas - it’s not easy to keep track of where you’ve been - lol
I finished in Markham Drive, where I managed to get down as far as 62/64 before I ran out of leaflets (sorry)! So if anybody living on Markham would like to pop ’round and ask the remaining residents if they know about the meeting, that would be a great help
Looking forward to the meeting on Friday, I do hope that we get sufficient numbers attending to be able to get the association off the ground.

Hi Daisily,
Hmmm sorry about that. I’m not sure who delivered on Halton Way, it wasn’t me though
The venue for the meeting is still not 100% certain. We’re still awaiting confirmation that the Kingsway Community Centre will be available in time, otherwise we will hold it at the Quedgeley Community Centre.
As soon as we’re certain (and - of course - by Thursday latest), we will confirm (and give relevant directions) both on here and on some of the notice boards around the Village.

Any latest news on the venue for tomorrow’s meeting? I’m sure some people are planning to attend but don’t know where they should be going at present (that certainly applies to me…)
Thanks!
