Meetings, meetings and more meetings - again!
The Cycle Race is just over a week away and the last minute hiccups are being sorted out! There’s no point in panicking at this stage - so today we reviewed the position to date and made the final arrangements. We have another meeting tomorrow with the local cycle clubs who will be providing the Marshalls and then it’s all sysyems go!. I am really getting excited. I am now beginning to realise just how big this event is!
This evening we held not one but two sub committee meetings in the Town Council Chamber. I enjoy sub committees much more than the larger General Purposes Committe and the Town Council meetings. Sub committees attract the committed councillors who are interested in putting forward constructive ideas and getting involved on a practical level whereas the bigger meetings serve as an arena for the ’spoilers’ and ‘point scorers’ who simply try to create a sound bite for the press and do little or nothing between meetings. Tonight’s sub committees were good meetings but we’ll have to wait to see what happens when their recomendations come up for approval!
have your say
