20th March 2025 - Melksham Transport User Group / new Committee

[whole diary]

[grahame]

Very much a group setup and organisation session

If you are, or wish to be, closely involved, please come along on 20th.  We will be somewhat formalising a committee at the AGM^▸ (Annual General Meeting) in April. We anticipate committee meetings will be held early on a weekday evening about every 2 months.

1. Committee - 20th March 2025, 18:30 
48 Spa Road, SN12 7NY. Plenty of free parking, even for a bus and train group!

2. For your diary - AGM - 10th April 2025, 18:30
Centre of Melksham, venue to be confirmed

A big "Thank you" to Melksham Without Parish Council and Melksham Town Parish Council for each giving us a grant, in the total amount between them of £700. This will allow the group to fully re-establish anew. We have made limited but natural commitments - things we would have done anyway like recording the support we have been given by the councils in our literature, and reporting back on our progress later in the year.
