Annual General Meeting
The AGM is now scheduled for 8.00pm on 20th September 2021 at the Capel Village Hall, Five Oak Green. Members of Save Capel can attend the AGM and vote on any resolutions; a separate email has already gone out to Members about the meeting. Supporters who are not Members can become Members very easily at https://savecapel.com/membership/ and it costs nothing. And if you do become a Member and attend the AGM you will have the extra incentive of cheese and wine after the meeting!
Fund Raising
One of the areas of focus for the Save Capel Executive for the next few months is raising more funds which will help to engage Barristers, Planning Lawyers and other Professional Experts, as we prepare for the Inspectors’ Hearings which will happen if TWBC submits its current Local Plan.
£1,000 first prize, £5 per ticket
Capel Greenbelt Protection Society (CGPS)
As many of you know, Save Capel works in association with CGPS and Capel Parish Council (CPC); we all have the same aims and it is helpful to be able to call on each other’s resources when needed. Also, as CGPS has charitable status, we use that to help to manage the funds Save Capel receives, and as a result we are able to show an extra level of governance over how the funds are raised and also to benefit from Gift Aid in relation to the majority of your donations.
Dave Parrish, and the other Trustees of CGPS (Konrad Legg, Robert Assirati and Hilary Andrews) have put together a couple of useful slides to show their objectives and actions. Dave will be speaking at the AGM.
Please contact cgps2021@gmail.com More information is to be found at our website: capelgb.com
So please think about converting to Member status as above, attending the AGM if you do, and help us with getting a great response to the Save Capel Grand Raffle.
Thanks for your ongoing support
On behalf of the Save Capel Executive
Stewart Gledhill, Ian Pattenden, Maggie Fenton, Jan Mueller and Charlie Keeling
