Our AGM in May 2017
We held our AGM at Church House on 11 May. We have posted the draft minutes here and accounts for last year here.
The AGM re-elected the existing committee. We also heard an excellent talk from local resident Stuart Manton on “Cheltenham South Town – 200 years of local trading history”: http://www.cheltenhamsouthtown.org/

Report on our 2016 SPJARA AGM
Nearly 50 members met in Church House (almost certainly our last AGM there) on 9 May.
We had a full report on our work over the past year. Highlights were: the completion of the Norwood Triangle, two planning interventions, many more trees planted, the summer jazz party, the fund raising dinner, and successful outings to Stanway and Madresfield (see below). We debated and supported ideas for transforming the Bath Road Car Parks (the Bath Square project).
Our funding is in good heart. We agreed that the Tree Fund should be re-named the 'Local Green Fund' to allow us to support a wider range of good projects.
We elected three new members to our committee - a sign of real energy.
Finally we heard a talk from Craig Mortisboys from the Cheltenham Trust - the charity that now runs the Pittville Pump rooms, the Sport Centre, the Wilson Gallery and the Town Hall. Craig explained the reasons for the Council having transferred these assets to the Trust and his belief that this opened up new streams of funding and a more creative, outward-looking approach to their management.
Afterwards we cut the 10th anniversary cake - see above - and sang "Happy Birthday" to SPJARA.
