Fairly quiet but with another new role

Having been confirmed as governor at Gors Community School I attended my first meeting in July, and found myself agreeing to take part in a complaint hearing – talk about going in at the deep end!  But I do hope that I can play an active role on the board, particularly increasing involvement with the local community.  

Very pleased to say that our Friends of group yet again got the Green Flag Community Award, now 7 years in a row.  Thanks as ever goes to the stalwart core of volunteers who carry on doing their bit, and more – much much more!

Over the two months I have had all the usual meetings, and managed to attend both of my monthly surgeries.  And even though August is usually virtually free actually had not one but two licensing committees.  Not surprising as you can never plan how many cases will arise in any month, sometimes none but this time just too many for one meeting.

At it was an absolute pleasure to go and see the newly painted mural at the Phoenix centre, a joint project initiated by the police who provided the funding, but designed and carried out by local young people.  So inspiring!
