1. The Secretary, John Richardson, read out the Minutes of the 2010 AGM.
2. Treasurer, Kevin Miles presented and explained the audited accounts for the year ending 31st December 2010. (You can view these in the “Accounts” page of this web-site). He said that it was a good year for income with welcome donations from our Friends, the RPA and our village Bonfire Society.
We had spent more this year than in 2009 on necessary maintenance and improvements, but we work hard to keep costs down. Jeremy Cornford had kindly agreed to audit the accounts.
3. In his Chairman’s report, Andrew welcomed everyone. His full report is attached below.
4. Following this, our guest speaker, John Withall, from the Millennium Seed Bank, gave a most interesting illustrated talk.
