INVITATION TO THE 11^th AGM OF

FRIENDS OF PAR BEACH

Thursday 24^th September 19.00

        at The Gott Hall, Par Green, PL24 2AG

Invitations limited to members only this year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Your input this year is extremely important. Please read information below.

In recent years Friends of Par Beach have included a guest speaker and time for socialising with refreshments before and after the business meeting of the AGM. However, this is not possible for the 2020 meeting due to current limitations relating to social distancing, infection control guidelines and limited numbers able to be accommodated in Gott Hall.

Despite the impact of an international pandemic, Friends of Par Beach are pleased to report another busy year, which we look forward to detailing at the meeting! Highlights include work parties prior to and following `lockdown’, which saw more native trees planted in the nature reserve and ragwort management in the dune system.

During Lockdown, work continued `behind the scenes’ redesigning our website, developing ideas for picture information boards identifying some of the native wildlife we help protect and embraced `zoom’ committee meetings! We also continue to benefit from the Co-Op community fund, which will help pay for some of the developments outlined above.

It is really important that members attend the AGM, BUT places must be booked in advance by email to Jennytagney@gmail.com or  Janice_hillier@hotmail.com or telephone Jenny on  07799258379. Places will be allocated on a `first come, first served’ basis and we will operate a `reserve’ list if necessary.

Richard Parks – Chair                Mike Freemantle – Treasurer               Janice Hillier – Secretary
