These might include: management committee meetings, Annual General Meetings (AGM) and public meetings. All these meetings are held for very different reasons and so are managed in different ways. This can change the way people speak to each other (formally or informally) or the way they are recorded (jotted notes or formal minutes). Here are some useful hints and tips to consider when planning your meetings… The Management Committee Meeting • Ensure all the relevant papers (minutes of last meeting and agenda) have been circulated so people have had time to read and understand the information before making a decision. • The Chair must keep control of the meeting and allow equal participation. • Having an agenda means that you’ll cover all the issues, and means that you will manage the time better. • Remember minutes must be impartial and factual and should include any decision reached, action required and who will take the action and when. The Public Meeting • Public meetings are usually held to either inform or consult (or both). Eg, to ask people what they think about something or for gauging opinions. • Publicity: There is no point having a meeting if no one knows about it! – use shops, newspapers, community centres, libraries, etc, to put up posters and distribute leaflets. • Take names and addresses of those attending. Take notes of the main points, and distribute afterwards. • At the end of the meeting, let everyone know what the next steps are. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) • Check your constitution - this will tell you how to conduct your AGM. • An AGM will usually include a financial report for the year, activities report, election of management committee and appointment of auditors. • If you are a registered charity you must send an annual return to the Charity Commission. If you are a company limited by guarantee, you must send your accounts to Companies House. If you are not sure what you are, then you really must have a look at your constitution! Other Considerations when planning meetings Consider the timing of the meeting - what will suit your members best? Consider people’s childcare arrangements, religion and culture (Friday is an important day for Muslim and Jewish people and they may not wish to participate in meetings on Fridays). Accessible venue. Get advice on induction loops for hearing impaired people. For more information, contact the Funding and Development Team on 01204 546010. 4 Sustainable Groups Project ‘Polacy Duzi I Mali’ (‘Poles Big and Small’) Witamy—Welcome! Just a few words about us. We are a relatively new Polish Community Group, formed in September 2009, and active here in Bolton. There has been a Polish presence in Bolton since the end of World War II. Since May 2004, when Poland and seven other Eastern European countries joined the European Union, the number of Poles in Bolton has grown substantially, and there are now about 1500, spread throughout the Borough.

    7 School Bus Services in Bolton September 2019 to July 2020 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare and also offer daily return tickets. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. On most services, students can also buy a weekly scholar’s ticket, which costs £7.40. These are ONLY valid on schooldays on school buses and are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at https://www.tfgm.com/tickets-and-passes/bus-school-bus-services There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares.

Health care learners will spend their careers caring for people from all sectors of society. In order to deliver the highest quality care, it is important for them to understand principles of equality, diversity and inclusion in the real world. The Human Library supports this aim by promoting social inclusion through respectful conversation. It provides an opportunity for learners to get a better understanding of how an individual’s culture, social identity and expressed beliefs will impact on the decisions they make about their care and treatment. This is a key component in developing the ‘patient as partner’ approach that will improve both patient experience and outcomes.

  • A Brief History of Bolton Art Circle
    A Brief History of Bolton Art Circle Forward Artists have always played an important part in drawing attention to the different aspects of the world we live in. Bolton has been fortunate in the number of people with such a talent. This History chronicles over half a century of promoting art in Bolton and outlines the achievements, heartaches and various characters involved with Bolton Art Circle. Since the founding just after the Second World War, almost every Boltonian involved with visual arts has at some time been a member. However, just as our appreciation of art changes with time, so has Bolton Art Circle developed into a movement that opens its doors to everyone who has either a sporadic or longer-term practical interest in art. By staging an exciting International Art Competition and Exhibition in July 1996 to celebrate its half-century, the Circle offered the whole community an opportunity to become involved in its aspirations, which are to bring the appreciation of the visual arts into everyone’s life. The History was researched by the late Alan Brooks, who delved into the archives and taxed the memories of many long-standing members and produced a fascinating booklet, which was in great demand. The following is primarily Alan’s "Brief History", but has been edited and updated for this website by myself. Roland Arthur, Honorary Secretary October 2002 1. The Start The initial impetus for the formation of the Circle came from a discussion held in the Process Department of Tillotsons Ltd., (Bolton Evening News), where four people talked about the idea of forming a group for the practice and furtherance of art.
