AGM

The 2024 AGM was held on Saturday 12th October in the Bromley Methodist Church Hall and was attended by our Patron, the Mayor of Bromley, accompanied by the Mayoress.  The Annual Report and Minutes of the 2023 AGM were approved by Members.  The President, Dick Groves mbe, outlined the service provided to the blind and visually impaired residents of the borough.  He then drew attention to the fact that a new location was needed for the Studio due to the landlord’s intention to sell the building that we currently lease part of.  The Mayor, Councillor Dr. David Jefferys, gave the audience an amusing account of his time as Mayor and went on to say how much the service provided to residents of the borough by local charities was appreciated by Bromley Council.  He wished the Association well for the future, despite the difficulties it was having in finding a new location for the studio.  Those present then enjoyed tea and cakes provided by the volunteers, followed by a raffle which raised £171 for the Association’s funds.
