Going Batty!

Not so many meetings, and the training has eased off this month, with just the one I attended. This looked in detail at the Social Services & Wellbeing Act which came into force in April.  It used the usual presentation & talk style but we are gradually being encouraged to do more via the e-learning platform.

Occasionally we have an extra council meeting, as was the case this month.  It celebrated the work done by long standing councillors who have since stood down, 
by awarding them the title of Alderman or Alderwoman.  I wouldn't want all meetings to have the pomp & ceremony that these do, but once in a while it makes a change, and I'm all for saying 'thank you' as much as possible.

Further progress with our Friends of group - Mayhill Washing Lake & Community Food Garden - as we have made more new contacts to help support this project, especially with the food garden and applying for grants.  And we ended the month with an excellent Bat Walk up the Black Road and were rewarded with both a lovely evening and lots of bats!
