The Management Committee
The Management Committee is made up of representatives of local Village Organisations who appoint one member to represent them for one year (April 1st through to March 31st the following year). At the 2006 AGM our constitution was amended (with the approval of the Charity Commission) to increase the number of places open to members of the public from 2 to 4, and these have all been filled. There are 10 voting members on the committee.
