(i)                 Setting at least one meeting date on a Saturday.

(ii)               Varying the time of meetings so they can start at 7.00pm.

(iii)             The location for future meetings.

              w/c Monday 26 April           10 February

                Members are asked to consider:

 

1                    The dates shown and whether they wish to meet on a Saturday morning on at least one occasion in the year.

2                    The time of the meetings so that they begin at 7.00pm rather than as now, at 7.30pm.

3                    The locations of meetings, bearing in mind once the dates are agreed officers need to establish the availability and suitability of any suggested venues.
