The Committee are most grateful to Hannah Lane for her continuing work as an advisor on Planning Matters.

Jim Gallimore is the new chairman of the Ottershaw Society. He has been a committee member for quite a number of years and has also lived in the village for the last twenty five years. Having both lived and worked in the village, he has the welfare of Ottershaw and its residents high on his list of priorities.

Here he congratulates both Reg and Hannah on their appointments as Honary President, and Honary Life member respectively.

The Ottershaw Society AGM, 22nd September 2009

This year’s AGM was held in the Village Hall and was, as usual, well attended.   The first business of the evening was to ratify the election of the committee and its officers, which was duly done, so now there is not only a new chairman for the Society, but two new vice chairs as well.   Jim Gallimore, our new chairman, conducted proceedings during the evening, during which time he was pleased to get the members’ approval to make Reg Taylor the Honorary President of the Society.

After the usual AGM business, our two local police officers, PC Anita Clark and PCSO Nicki Brumell introduced themselves and explained their respective roles and responsibilities within the community.   They stayed for the refreshments at the end of the evening, to meet individual members and to respond to their queries.   This was much appreciated by the audience and they were certainly kept busy!

Thanks go to both Sue Mannveille and Gail Spencer on the committee, and their helpers, who organised the “social” end of the evening.
