Spring Meeting and AGM

Torquay Museum on the 26th June 2008 at 10am

The meeting was a great sucsess, with much interesting and informed debate. Highlights included reports from Gordon Reid for MLA South West and Kate Brindley for the South West Hub.

Tamsin Daniel stepped down as Chair and was replaced by Liz Neathey from North Somerset Museum. Vice-chair is now Alison Bevan from Penlea House, Penzance. The County Reps all stayed in place except for Mary Godwin in Devon who has been replaced by Helena Jaeschke, the CDO at RAMM.

The one place on the board that remains empty is the Minutes Secretary. The board is therefore now looking for someone who would like the opportunity to take on this roll. If you would like to know more about this, please do not hesitate to contact any committee member to discuss.

The program & agenda are still available here and futher details here.
