Area AGM – Tuesday 4 May 2010

May 16th, 2010

We all took our seats at the Savanna, The Black Lion Inn for an evening of fine food, wine and friendship, with representatives from Harpenden Circle, Radlett Circle, Letchworth Circle and of course, St Albans.  Joanne had kindly organised the whole evening and we enjoyed welcoming Harpenden, Radlett and Letchworth to St Albans, in fact the same place that we had held our St Albans Circle AGM. Well done for organising such a fabulous evening Joanne.

There was much merriment and plenty of speeches.  It was a chance to hear what our friends in these other groups had been up to during the year. I was impressed to hear of Radlett’s fundraising efforts at their Alternative Quiz night and to hear that they had set up a Watling Street group for those above the age to stay within Circle.  Letchworth had been busy increasing membership and had held a successful swishing evening and Harpenden had raised over £16,000 for charity – a really staggering figure (well done!).  There was plenty of discussion about plans for the coming year, including a cross-area archery contest.

Sally was retiring from area Chair and was presented with a number of thank you gifts at the end of the evening. Emma Taylor from Harpenden kindly stood in to take her place for 2010-2011 year.
