Title: TravelWatch SouthWest AGM - 16th November 2018
Post by: grahame on August 30, 2018, 15:49:34
If you represent a group at the TWSW general meetings, please add the AGM into your diary too.  Agenda not yet set - the TWSW directors meet twice in September and there's the general meeting in October too - so anything listed at this point except the date would be a bit premature!

The Mint (Fore Street Exeter EX4 3AT) - booked in The Wesley room 16th November.

AGM 12:30?  There's a TravelWatch SouthWest board meeting just ahead of the AGM.  Yesterday's TravelWatch SouthWest board meeting look at plans ahead - general meetings, intermediate meetings, newsletters, strategy etc - I anticipate that the AGM will be followed by a session looking ahead at those matters with members.   We have an excellent lineup for 6th October general meeting in Taunton too - I'll post that as I get an updated electronic copy.

TravelWatch SouthWest CIC annual report to March 2018 at http://www.passenger.chat/TWSW_CIC_2018.pdf . Such documents are curious because they end 6 months ago ... missing out, them the XC consultation and other stuff that has happened.

Quoting from the end of that document:

Looking Forward

The Company’s objectives are:

working with the membership, local authorities and bus operators to explore new ways to fund and provide bus services;
inputting to the national review of franchising and regional refranchise processes,

promoting improved public transport services as contributing to improved air quality and reduced congestion; and
actively engaging with younger generations, understanding their travel habits, frustrations and needs.
