Cottage No 8 Important Update - from Paul Meredith, Chairman

The recent open letter to consult members about the option to re-configure the washrooms as part of the replacement of the No 8 floor has stimulated much useful discussion.

As a result the Committee have received a number of views and interestingly a number of alternative suggestions for possible modifications.

This has widened the debate from the original proposal and the Committee have been asked by a long standing, and respected, club member to consider calling an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to give a formal opportunity for focussed discussion on this important issue. The committee considered this request at the December committee meeting and voted to call an EGM.

This will allow the club to reach a democratic decision regarding which option it wishes to adopt and give sufficient time for planning before the 2013 working week.

The current plans (to be confirmed) are to hold the EGM at 09.00 on the 16th Feb 2013 in the Miners Welfare Abercrave.

A formal invitation, an agenda and a briefing paper comprising an outline and analysis of each proposal will be sent out with the Newsheet in Jan. 2013.
