2015 AGM report (24 June 2015)

AGM? Sounds boring? Like all our AGMs we really focus the evening on Park related topics we feel confident members will be interested in. This year was no different and we had two fascinating presentations: the first was on the vision for substantial Heritage Lottery funding to really renovate the upper pond/dingle area of the Park and increase access for all. If successful (we should hear early 2017) this will significantly add to the experience of visiting the upper parts of the Park. (Please complete the survey in the article below.) The second presentation was of the results, hot off the press, of the environmental survey we have commissioned for the lower park pond. This is to ensure that our development plans for it are sound and sustainable; techy stuff but fascinating for anyone interested in environment protection and renovation. With little time left, we still managed to review another successful year, confirm the accounts, receive the Park Ranger’s report, and elect a Committee for 2015/16. Thanks to all who attended and our two marvellous guest presenters. As Chair, I thanked all 100 member households (present and not), Cardiff Parks Dept, and Lisvane Community Association for their support over the last year. The vision and enthusiasm of our Group are strong but effectively fruitless without that support. Looking forward to our 5th year!
