We elected the following people unopposed at our AGM to our management committee for 2026/2027:
- Co-ordinator: Jonathan Rothwell
- Deputy co-ordinator: Karen Flanagan
- Treasurer: Bill Bremner
- Secretary: Position vacant, roles filled by the Co-ordinators
- Chris Kershaw: Infrastructure Representative
We also approved the Annual Report 2025/26 which includes objectives for the years 2026-2027, and also our Statement of Accounts 2025/26 and our Budget 2026/2027.
Some other key outcomes:
- Steve Smith has stepped back as Emeritus Rides co-ordinator and we did not elect a replacement. The responsibility for the paperwork and managing the risk around rides is being taken on by the Co-ordinators.
- We are seeking to recruit group members who would be willing to act as ‘area reps,’ being a point of contact to understand what’s going on in the local community, building relationships with local politicians, and providing local expertise to consultation responses and stakeholder engagements. Whether this becomes a formal committee role remains to be seen—stay tuned for more details.
