Our Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday 6th May at Polly, with 14 members attending. Election of Committee. The only change to the Committee was Vice-Chairman, due to Campbell McCullough being unable to continue in this role. With the usual period of silence when calling for nominations, our newest member Mike Ridley stirred and was promptly nominated and elected as Vice-Chairman. That could be a record! Welcome to the Committee Mike. We still require one more Ordinary Committee member. Site Report. Manager Kathleen Toohey presented the Site Report, detailing the work being done to prepare the interior of the Interpretive Centre for the ‘Showtime Entertainment Group’, and the security of the workshop, which will be upheld. She also reported on the purchase of plastic sheeting and her laying it on the Poop deck to temporarily prevent further water leaking into the cabins below.
