Members will also have seen a news letter sent out by Katharine Barber with a Post-Pandemic Report. The content of this e-mail is below:
Dear Members,
We have been having meetings to plan the way forward for the Society and the attached Post Pandemic report sets out the problems we are facing.
We do not really want to raise the subscription at this time but it has remained at £10 per head for considerable years and as you can see IF we do not have the officer positions fulfilled by volunteer members and if we wish the Society to continue giving members the present package of events, we will have to raise the subscription to pay for these additional costs.
I am sure that there are members who could step into these positions but we have asked for help before and it has not been forthcoming. However, as we have had several new members, there is something worthwhile within the Society to preserve.
In the past, members have volunteered to help with the administration of the Society. The roles which include basic bookkeeping, minute taking and acting as the ‘hub’ for the outings, are essential to keep the Society ‘afloat’ . These jobs are not onerous and, of course, there is support. I am sure that there are members both old and new, who could step into these positions.
We are hoping to have a full programme in 2022 and it is considered that all talks, room hire, outings should be covered by the subscription charge, leaving savings for capital payments for preservation and enhancement of Malvern.
Please consider the points on in the report and if you wish to volunteer or give an opinion have suggestions, please do contact either Andrew Huntley (chairman@malverncivicsociety.org.uk) or me at news@malverncivicsociety.org.uk. We welcome your response.
