4. Secretary's Statement. Robert said that he was impressed at the influence that we have with the organisations that we deal with, and this is a reflection of how successful we are as a group.

5. Election of Officers. Eileen proposed and Betty Saez seconded the
motion that the present Chairwoman, Treasurer and Secretary be asked
to serve again in the same positions. This was unanimously agreed.

Mr Williams said that he thought there should be a member specifically
for Belmont Square. Secretary said that this suggestion merited discussion, but would require a change in the constitution which would have to be the subject of another meeting. Mr Williams said that no change was necessary, but the meeting agreed to discuss it at another meeting.

6. Representative for Umbrella Group. Menai appealed to the meeting for a representative from the group to attend the Umbrella Group. No-one offered themselves despite the Chairwoman's request.

7. Secretary brought up the subject of a lift for the top floor. There was much useful discussion. Menai said that she had written to Mr Jaques with the proposal that if we raised as much money as we could, through various sources, then the Landlord might feel that they could match the funding that we had raised. Most members agreed, with some reservations, ie. That the company couldn't raise our rents because of an improvement that we had funded. Menai said that to date, she had had no response from Mr Jaques.

8. Any Other Business. Mr Williams asked that the matter of his heating be brought to the Landlord's attention. Secretary said it would be minuted. Mr Hunt from Priors walk asked Secretary to mention the leaves in the garage areas there. Secretary mentioned them. Mrs Cavanagh told us of her concern about the wood chippings that have been left outside her window and the size of the stump left there. Growing Point - Menai reminded all that Janet Parry was visiting us on Friday to discuss Growing Point with us.

9. Next Meeting. It was agreed that the date and time of the next meeting would be decided in the future.
