Matters arising. October.-
- Willow wreath workshop 30 people attended.
- A skate Jam was done in conjunction with Mondo Loco.
- Events map might have been superseded by Residents forum.
- A discussion emerged over whether we should do a February valentines disco. Elaine asked if the events group should run it. Darius explained the directors decision that the Hub Team meeting would be the group who organised future events and the events team was now dissolved. At this point, Elaine Ferguson and Shirley Boyle left the meeting. We tried to ask Shirley to stay and discuss the issue. Unsuccessfully.
