Spring is the season of movement — gardening, cleaning, hiking, and tackling to-do lists that sat dormant all winter. But before you jump into action, take a moment to consider the foundation of all movement: your spine.

In March we had our AGM which was well attended. Martyn Wyburn reported on the current state of the Community Hub. The completion of the new library extension being the highlight of the year. There were no new candidates to join the Trustees. Martyn was re-elected as chair, with Lynn Williams voted in as vice-chair, Mandi Bland as treasurer. Andrew Dawes and Janet Dowling were also re-elected as trustees. Unfortunately, one position that has not been filled is that of secretary.

If anyone would like to discuss this with me, I can be contacted on Tel:07914254965.
