The AGM of Chipperfield News was held on Tuesday 8 January when the Chairman welcomed all present. The editors reported on a successful year. However, they would still appreciate receiving additional interesting articles from local contributors. We are seeking the help of an assistant on the editorial desk, so any interested person should contact Liz or Anne on (01923) 267483 or 267947.
Peter Corbett, business manager, reported on a smooth running operation and thanked all concerned for their co-operation. Peter Waite, the advertising manager, thanked all advertisers for their help. It was due to their support that we were able to produce a monthly publication which is delivered free of charge to all residents.
Graham McMellin presented the annual accounts to 31 October 2007, stating that the finances were in good order, funds standing at £7,647. New replacement software was to be ordered and Tony Briselden, the IT manager, would be reporting back on the current hardware.
Popsi Stokes thanked the distributors for their help and support over the last 12 months saying that Print Run were to be congratulated on their prompt monthly delivery.
Russ Evans, the Chipperfield webmaster, reported on the very high number of visitors to the website. He was reorganising the site to enable Chipperfield clubs and organisations to edit their own pages. He appealed to all to make use of this facility so that more information on their activities was available which would, in turn, attract new members.
Richard Edwards thanked all the team for their support and work during the year.
