AGM and Water Users meeting

The AGM went smoothly and the annual report and accounts were received and passed. It was noted that some members have failed to adhere to Safeguarding arrangements when children are changing. We have to stick to the rules and demonstrate that we take this serious subject seriously.The Water Users meeting was a useful exchange of views and information. Russ and Olaf presented the results of the Survey sent to all members for which they had a good response. The results and the consultation will be fed into the programme for 2024.Thanks to all who attended and especially those who have put themselves forward for the Committee and other roles listed in the Nominations circulated.
