Summary of Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 30th September 2025


Eight members of the Committee attended. The Chairman thanked all those involved with the AGM which went very smoothly, not least because of the contribution by the Mayor. He was pleased that the monthly meetings were so well attended and that we were attracting some younger members. Membership numbers were stable despite some inevitable losses.

 

Thanks were given to Mike for the programme of talks he had arranged and that most of next year’s speakers were now confirmed. It was also confirmed that, after 22 years, Christine would be stepping down as editor of Bromleag with the March edition which she will produce in conjunction with her successor. Her enormous contribution to the Society was commended by other Committee members.


It was reported that we are trying to increase our profile via Facebook and that we have had over a quarter of a million visits to our website. More than 75 queries have been received which can be time consuming but often throw up interesting historical facts or questions to look into further.

Current progress with the Central Library and Archives move remains unclear but the problem of members own collections continues to cause concern. Further thought will be given to finding a solution, if possible.


The next Committee meeting will be on Tuesday 9th December.
