A message from The Chair: Elections for the WMRA Committee at the AGM
The current WMRA Committee contains the constitutional 10 members, plus one supplementary member who will automatically become a full member when an existing member leaves. This year, after serving three years, three very valuable members, Bryan Pickup and Helena Webster who monitor all local Planning Applications, and Caroline Martin who runs the Website and Newsletter, are due for re-election; happily all wish to stand again. If anyone new wishes to stand for the Committee, please let me know via the Walton Manor email address (waltonmanorra@gmail.com). This would precipitate the unusual situation of an election contest at the AGM, as we would otherwise be over-subscribed. Many thanks for everyone’s support to the Committee over the year.
