Friends of Blythe Hill Fields - June 2020 meeting

[Tim_Part]

Friends Meeting - June 2020
Thursday, June 25, 2020
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

This is a general meeting, open to the wider Friends group rather than just the Committee, that we must hold at least four times a year (although in practice we operate an open-door policy at all times).

This is the first time that we will hold a meeting using a format based on our new strategy - this is therefore an ideal opportunity to get involved and volunteer for some new activities that we are planning for the rest of the year and into 2021.

Given the ongoing social distancing guidance, this will be a virtual meeting using Google Hangouts. You can join the meeting in two ways:

• Using a computer browser (no login or account needed): meet.google.com/dau-vwbd-abz
• Via telephone: dial 020 3957 2273‬ and enter PIN ‪859 849 388#‬ when prompted

The agenda will be confirmed early next week. If you have anything to add, please let Tim Part (chair@blythehillfields.org.uk) know.

We look forward to seeing you on the call.

Our wonderful former secretary Suzanne stood down in January due to other commitments, and I have been doubling up on the role on an interim basis since. It would be great to have a new face on the committee.

• Prepare, in consultation with the Chair, the agenda for General Meetings of the Membership and meetings of the Committee and the Membership;
• Find and book appropriate meeting spaces;
• Take, circulate and store minutes of all meetings;
• Collect and circulate any other relevant information within the Membership;
