Very much a group setup and organisation session

Quote
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.

Committee Agenda

1. Introductions

2. Apologies

3. Update on the Public Transport Scene
3.1 Wiltshire, National and even wider framework
3.2 Melksham
3.3 Upcoming meetings

4. Report

4.2 report

5. Planning for the AGM
5.1 Venue
5.2 Resolutions
5.3 Promotion

7. planning for beyond the AGM
