Our “Annual” event was held this year in Llancaiach Fawr Manor the Tudor manor house near the village of Nelson. Entertainment was provided by the harpist, Anwen Thomas; Lorne East who gave a presentation about bees; and the vocalist Emma James, who returned by popular demand following her performance last year. An interlude for a finger buffet with tea/coffee was availble at the interval.

Our AGM was a brief affair, to conduct formal business. The Chairman commended his annual report to the audience, who had each been provided with a copy. He also outlined the financial position of the Forum.

The Steering Committee had approved a revised constitution. Members at the meeting had a copy and were invited to vote to approve the new version. The motion to approve was carried unanimously.

The members attending the AGM were also asked to consider the nominations for the Steering Committee for the coming year. No objections were raised to those nominated. It was explained that Officers of the Committee would be elected by the Steering Committee at their next meeting.
