23rd October 2022 - Report on AGM and message from Kevin
Dear Supporters,
The AGM of Darley Dale Twinning took place on 30 June 2022 . The following were elected to the committee:
Chair: Kevin Senior
Secretary: Bill Jameson
Committee members: Cath Hardy, Bob Hingston, Kelly Addis, reps from Darley Dale Band and Winster Morris Dancers.
You will see that we do not have a Treasurer. Mike Doyles had previously given notice that he was no longer able to fulfil the role. Fortunately, there were only a couple of transactions in the last twelve months and it is likely that there will be little action needed for some time.
Since the AGM however, we have had someone come forward who is interested in this post and we hope to have him on board the committee early next year.
We also do not have a Vice-Chair and we need more Committee members.
LEADERSHIP
This years AGM was poorly attended, hence the shortcomings for elected positions on the committee. It is important that all our supporters realise that without the leadership to take forward the organisation, twinning activities and exchanges will cease in the next couple of years. Supporters all enjoy the visits to Onzain and likewise when Onzain comes to Darley Dale. Well, this will no longer happen, if nobody else comes forward. Both the Chair and Secretary have served for nearly 25 years and intend not to have their names put forward at next year's AGM - it's that important.
In order for the twinning link with Onzain to continue in the way that we know, we need a Vice Chair this year (who will progress to be the Chair next year) and also a Secretary for next year. Please consider expressing your interest in either of these important positions and email our Secretary, Bill Jameson at bill.jameson@darleydaletwinning.org.uk
With best wishes,
Kevin Senior
Chair
Darley Dale Twinning
AGM Thursday 30th June 2022
This year we are thankfully back to holding our AGM in person again and will be held on Thursday 30th June at 7.45pm in The Gallery Room, Whitworth Centre, Darley Dale. Please come along and support Darley Dale Twinning.
