The Society’s AGM was held on 24th October with seven shareholders present. In line with the Society’s rules, two board members, Mark Limbrick and Bob James, stood down, but both were willing to serve again so were re-elected. The Chairman and Treasurer presented their reports and the accounts were approved. These are attached below.

Discussion ensued about the need to attract younger people to the Society, and also how the Society’s longstanding commitment to increasing biodiversity in the woodland was proving to be successful. A vote of thanks was enthusiastically endorsed for Mark Limbrick who was standing down as Chairman after eleven years, but would continue as a board member.

There was then a PowerPoint slide show to illustrate the Society’s work over the past twelve months. This is too large to attach to this web page, but can be emailed separately on request to Patrick Cosgrove at pccosgrove@icloud.com
