After much preparation, the Mini Millbrook Project finally had its first AGM to adopt its constitution and elect a committee. This will make the group fully independent and autonomous. They will also be able to open a bank account to manage their own money.
Gail did a great job leading the meeting. Using new PowerPoint skills taught to them by Stuart from the CB Project, Estelle and Gail had put together a fabulous slide show which Gail presented. This gave a detailed summary of what the group had been up to and its hopes for the future. It was a great way to celebrate the hard work of the group over the last couple of months.
Then it was time for the elections - Kerry was elected Chair, Mandy was elected Secretary and Gail became the Treasurer. The constitution was adopted, committee members signed up and it was agreed to open a bank account. Gail ended the meeting with a 'thought shower' to get everyone's ideas about what theme to choose for the group's next carnival.
Then once it was over, there were refreshments and a display of photos for all to enjoy.
