The meeting began with readings by members from our &#8216;Women of Influence&#8217; project (posted separately).\u00a0 What inspiring and remarkable women we heard about!\u00a0 As usual, the AGM was a fairly ritual process, reviewing the previous year and previewing the new.\u00a0 We were able to donate over \u00a33000 last year, plus donations in kind, which was quite an achievement, given the limitations of the Covid pandemic.\u00a0 We were also very pleased to welcome two new members to the club.<\/p>\n<p>Chair Jan Beeton thanked all members of the club who participated in this successful year, in particular the members of Executive, who have kept the ball rolling.\u00a0 The new Executive was confirmed, and will continue to meet via Zoom, which has worked well this year.\u00a0 The new Executive follows the structure of a &#8220;light touch&#8221; club.\u00a0 We will not have a President defining the programme and events for the year.\u00a0 Instead, each month a different member of the club will take responsibility for chairing the Executive meeting and the Club meeting, and organising the Club meeting speaker.\u00a0 All our fund-raising events will have a designated leader with a sub-group\/team for each individual event.\u00a0 This model was &#8220;brainstormed&#8221; at a special meeting in January, at which the shared out programme was agreed &#8211; though no doubt further activities\/events will be added through the year.\u00a0 Lists for volunteers for sub-groups were circulated at the meeting, including the upcoming Coffee Morning scheduled for May 5th.<\/p>\n<p>This first Coffee Morning is in aid of our sister club <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/harare\/\">SI Harare<\/a>&#8216;s charity projects, which we have supported for many years.\u00a0 As conditions in Zimbabwe sadly continue to deteriorate, we know that any assistance we can give will be well used.\u00a0 Two more Coffee Mornings are scheduled for later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>Past Presidents Sue Young and Judith Clarke announced the division of the more than \u00a31200 raised at our recent Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson event. This will be shared between our two new club charities this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementiaforward.org.uk\/our-dementia-hub\/\">Friends of Garget-Walker House Dementia Day Care Centre,<\/a> Colburn Community Trust, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalgiving.co.uk\/charity\/richmond-and-catterick-riding-for-the-disabled-association\">Riding for the Disabled<\/a> at Catterick and <a href=\"https:\/\/marrickpriory.co.uk\/\">Marrick Priory Outdoor Centre<\/a>.\u00a0 We are also about to complete our project to make Richmond a &#8220;Toilet Twinned Town&#8221;, in conjunction with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toilettwinning.org\/\">Toilet Twinning,<\/a> as we now have 19 twins in place and the final 20th is promised for next month.<\/p>\n<p>It is good to be able to look forward to a &#8220;normal&#8221; programme with face-to-face Club meetings at the Scotch Corner Hotel instead of virtual sessions on Zoom, and the opportunity to include some social events as well as our fundraisers in this year&#8217;s calendar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our April meeting was the AGM, as we move into the new year, 2022-23.
