Annual General Meeting 2024The 2024 AGM will take place at Hutton in the Forest on Sunday 26th May
The Annual General Meeting of the North Cumbria Orchard Group will take place from 4.30pm at the Hutton in the Forest tea room. All members are welcome but please book a place (no charge) so we can arrange sufficient catering and seating. The formal agenda for the meeting will include reports from the officers and election of committee members. Any member is welcome on the Committee: should wish to stand or just to learn more about the role, please contact Adam Bazire (), Sara Braithwaite () or Mark Evens ().
Following the formal business of the meeting there will be some short presentations bringing members up to date on some developments, and an opportuinty to ask questions.
Those who attended last year may recall that we had issues with the clarity of discussions. We have hired a pubilc address system and modified the layout for this year's event and are confident that the sound will be much better.
The AGM will be preceeded by a work party at the Sawmill Orchard. This is separately bookable and numbers are limited due to access and parking. Click here for details.
