Pavilion AGM

Last night the Friends of the Grand Pavilion had its AGM and re-elected it's committee for the next 12 months.
As promised, when people joined, I did a presentation on the past year and our expectations for the year ahead.
Two comments we made, one was the lack of Young People involved in the campaign and the other was about charging for Friends' events.
We have not addressed the issue of young people properly. We actually have a lot of younger people (say under 40) who are members. It is probably because older people have more time that we have not managed to attract many younger people to events and other functions. We agreed to put more work into this area.
We do not charge for Friends Group events as a rule as it creates much more work. The money raised will in no way help towards our £2.6m target and we want as many people to join the Friends Group. People performing, or talking, charge us nothing so it is reasonable that we do not pass on a charge to the members.
After the meeting we took about thirty members around the newly cleared areas of the Pavilion and the rest enjoyed a glass of wine and some cheese.
