10 October 2012: AGM and Tessa Wyatt, "A Different View"

The AGM was well attended again this year. Amanda and Jo delivered the Chair’s report and the financial report respectively. Four members of the committee stood down this year including our co-chairwomen. Jo proposed a vote of thanks to Amanda and Alex for their hard work and presented them with pot plants as a token of our gratitude. Rosemary Howden and Denise Harrison were duly elected as our new co-chair. We are very pleased that they have agreed to take on this role and hope that they will enjoy it. There was a little reshuffling of the remaining committee members to fill other vacated roles.

With the business of the AGM concluded, Alex offered to Chair the Branch meeting before handing over the reins to Rosemary and Denise.

Our speaker for the evening was Tessa Wyatt, a local artist who layers photographs to create her unique images. Tessa not only gave a very informative talk full of tips and advice, she has reproduced the entire talk on her blog.
