Meetings, meetings and more meetings!
What a week it’s been. I won’t bore you with all the details but since Monday I’ve had meetings every day.
On Monday evening it was our usual monthly meeting of Stone’s Independent Voice, the group of independent councillors who control Stone Council.
Tuesday was a busy day. At midday Jill Hood and I, wearing our Food and Drink hats, met an officer from the Borough Council to discuss Festival related issues. Then the whole afternoon was spent in a Food and Drink Working Group meeting - putting together the framework for next year’s Festival. And in the evening it was off to the Council Chamber for two Town Council Committee meetings - Environment and Estates. By the time I got home I was whacked!
On Wednesday it was down to Stafford. I am on the Appointments Panel that will select David Rawlins’ successor. So ,for obvious reasons, I can’t disclose any details.
And today Jill and I went over to Uttoxeter for a day of seminars organised by Staffordshire DMP. That stands for Staffordshire Destination Management Partnership. Or just think of it as Staffordshire Tourist Board! Actually it was well worthwhile. Stone’s Food and Drink Festival is now obviously on everyone’s radar. We made several very important contacts and have arranged to meet a major player in Staffordshire tourism in early January.
Perhaps I can take it easy over the weekend!
have your say
