Issue - meetings

9.1       The Mayor advised that the charities she would championing this year were The Meath Epilepsy Trust, a specialist residential care home for adults who live with complex epilepsy, and Skillway, both based in Godalming. Skillway taught crafts and practical and social skills to those who found school a challenging environment.

9.2       The Mayor noted that after the Leader had brought down the gavel at the end of the previous administration with such energy that he had broken it, one of Skillway’s young carpenters had made a new gavel that she would use to keep Council meetings in order.

9.3       The Mayor asked Councillors and guests to ‘save the date’ of 6 October, when she would be hosting a fund-raising concert at Charterhouse School. More details would follow in due course. The Mayor also advised Councillors that her Civic Service would be held on Sunday 2 July 2023 at 10am, at St John’s in Farncombe.
