## **Reports to Members 2021** ## **– published in “The Villager” magazine distributed to all Pinner Association members.** ## **March 2021: View from the Chair.** Well what can I say; it's been a stop, start-stop type of period! At the time of writing this, we are currently in a stop period! The Pinner Association produced its first-ever electronic survey – thank you to everyone who took part; there is an article further in the magazine about the results. Suffice to say one of the items that came out of it was that many of you had no real insight into the workings of the committee; there is another article further in the magazine to try and shed some light. Earlier this month, I gave a Zoom coffee talk to members of the Pinner Synagogue about the inner workings of the committee. I’m more than happy to do this for other organisations. We will be holding an AGM this year, it will be either by Zoom or if we are allowed in the Village Hall. I'm sure you all appreciate that we live in very fluid times and so the decision to which format it will be will occur in April. Whatever format, the date is 21 April at 8 pm. (We look forward to seeing you). For those of you out and about please keep an eye on the notice boards around Pinner. We will also be publishing the format across our social media platforms. We are hoping that we will be able to put on the Band Concerts again this year. Planning has already started. Harrow Council asked The Pinner Association to suggest names for the development at Waxwell Lane Car Park. Some of the suggestions were - Horatia Mews - Pinnoria Mews - Pinn Mews - Langham Mews - Edward Lear Mews Other names that were discounted from our suggestions were 'Letsby Avenue' (Let's be having you) and 'Parkin Place'. The favourite name from a recent poll was Pinn Mews (29 votes). This name has been put forward to ensure that the utility companies, post office, and emergency services are happy with the name. Apparently, Waxwell Mews/Close wasn't allowed as it might get muddled with Waxwell Lane. Other people suggested 'Parky McParkface', 'WeNeverWantedThisCarPark', and more subtly 'Noluit Heights' for the Latin scholars amongst you. Litter in our parks seems to be a big issue again as yet again they become the sanctuary for people. A new poster has appeared on the waste bins in Pinner Memorial Park. (Litter Photo - Jon Keyes) Out on my daily exercise, I've noticed a big difference this time; a lot of Pinnerites are practicing the snake (zigzag) walk again giving other pedestrians space. It's one way to ensure that you get the required number of steps each day. As I can't do work on my allotment (it's too wet), I've taken the opportunity to walk around the streets of Pinner. I now know where The Croft is located, Pinner Rugby Club play, Pinner Park Primary school, and other hidden areas of Pinner. (Pinner Walks Photo – Julie Waller) As you can see, I've still got a lot of roads to discover. If you see me out and about in a bright red jacket do stop me. I'm happy to talk at a safe distance. Page **1** of **7** Like a lot of you, I have a virtual list of people I’m looking to hug when allowed. I know that when that day arrives, it might take me an hour to walk down to the Village – you have been warned! Take care and stay safe, Julie Julie Waller, Acting-Chair, The Pinner Association ## **July 2021: View from the Chair.** Hopefully by the time you are all reading this, we will at last be out of lockdown and getting used to the new normal. At some stage I will start to go through my long list of people I need to hug – you have all been warned! A member made a donation for the sum of £250 to The Centre of ADHD and Autism Support on behalf of the Pinner Association. This was in connection to us ensuring that the festive lights were switched off by the 29 Jan at the latest. We would also like to thank Harrow Council for ensuring that this happened. Litter in the parks is, unfortunately, a big issue again this summer. I personally think that the council missed a trick again in their latest news letter by not reminding people to dispose of their litter responsibly. A local resident so fed up with the litter that is the blight of all of our parks created a video; unfortunately show casing the issue in Pinner Memorial Park. If you wish to watch it, visit = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v mxBtqLgeR7Q At last we were able to hold our AGM which was held on Zoom. So, I am no longer acting-chair but chair of the Pinner Association. Jill Cock, who was our membership secretary for over 12 years stood down from the committee, I would like to thank her for her hard in a role that is often unseen. I would like to welcome Alison Whitehead who was elected as membership secretary and Keith Rookledge on to the committee. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit your questions beforehand; hopefully we were able to give you fuller questions. A summary of the Q&A session will be posted on our social media outlets. Sorry to anyone who attended and we run out of time to deal with questions from the virtual floor. I would like to welcome Richard Morgan and Jenny Soothill to our meetings. The hope is that we will be able to co-opt them on to the committee at a later stage. Jenny has an interest in health and Richard as the owner of Brick Mortar will be able to help forge a relationship with the business and retailers within Pinner. What is encouraging is that the high street has seen new businesses open up and fill the empty retail outlets (more of that in talking shops). What used to be Prezzo will be a restaurant; exactly what we will find out in good time. Having said that we have had a couple of causalities; BrOOK’S has closed as they lease was due to expire in June and the new costs were prohibitive. Pinner Underground station flower beds have been entered in the London in Bloom competition. Judging should have happened in June. These flower beds are maintained by Pinner Association volunteers who freely give up their time to maintain then; thank you. If the conditions allow, we will be holding the annual Concerts in the Park this year. Look out for posters in our various notice boards giving you an update about the concerts and also our social media outlets. They will be one major difference; this year we will not be hiring out chairs, so please bring your own. They are due to start on the 25 July. We look forward to seeing you there. Julie Waller, Chair, The Pinner Association. Page **2** of **7** ## **November 2021: View from the Chair.** **Litter:** Yet again, litter in our parks is a problem. Unfortunately, the council have cut back on emptying the bins from three times a week to two. The only saving grace was that summer wasn’t as glorious as last year. So the parks weren’t so crowded In April, a resident Jon Keyes so feed up with the litter problem produced a video Called “Don’t be like Emily” highlighting the issue in Pinner Memorial Park. It was highlighted in the My Harrow News email from Harrow Council dated 22 April. For those that missed it – here is the link to the video https://youtu.be/mxBtqLgeR7Q **Band Concerts:** First of all thank you to Harrow Council Events team that eventually got round to authorising the events on the Tuesday before they started. This was due to the fact they had some significant staff changes and had no-one running this part of Commercial Services for quite a while. You might have noticed that publicity was severely delayed and no banners were displayed this year. Other changes to mitigate the risks meant that there was no chair hire, initially no bucket collections and that the stage was fenced off. Despite the delay in getting the go ahead – they happened; even the rain whilst setting up or packing away or just before the start of a concert didn’t dampen spirits. This year we also had a lot of first time volunteers helping which was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who gave up their time to help. A couple of the bands were missing singers due to them getting pinged or isolating so that they could make their own wedding, despite this, it was wonderful to hear music once again wafting over the park. Thank you to Harrow Steel, Fats Rollini Jazz and Blues Band, The Stardust Big Band and Simply Gray that got the audience foot tapping and in some cases dancing. The only incident we had was two young children who had lost their grandmother, they were quickly reunited. I was asked why we did them. The answer is very simple; even though people sat in the rain waiting for the concerts to start, once the music started, there were some wonderful huge smiles on the audience’s faces. Dexter who heads up Harrow Steel said “It was wonderful to see so many people that he hadn’t seen over the last 18 months”. Despite our reluctance to initially hold the usual bucket collection for West House and Health Robinson Museum we collected over £1000 for the trust. Thank you to everyone who made a contribution. **Peace Garden Volunteers:** One of our first time volunteers at the concerts asked about volunteer gardening opportunities. I very pleased to announce that the peace gardens volunteer group has been resurrected. More on this later in the magazine. **Pinner Underground Station gardens:** A resident volunteer entered the station gardens into the London in Bloom Competition. Judging was delayed as the judge got pinged. I attended the judging in August to explain the association’s involvement in the gardens. Our volunteer will be attending a virtual award ceremony in October. **Donations:** We made a couple of donations to local organisations on your behalf. A donation of £1000 was given to the Pinner Cricket Club Youth Team. This donation was spent on team training tops for the youth teams. A round up of the youth team’s performances will be later in the magazine. We also gave a donation of £200 to a local scheme called Reuse Your Bike initially set up by two local residents. Their aim is to take bikes that are no longer used and replace chains, brakes and cables before finding them a new home. Information about this scheme can be found by visiting https://reuseyourbike.wordpress.com/ Page **3** of **7** **Local Shows:** It was wonderful to see the return of the Pinner Village Show organised by the Rotary Club of Pinner. We had a stall at the show and thank you to everyone who popped in to see us. We were also invited to attend RoxyFest 21 held at Roxbourne Park and had a stall there. It was our first visit to their show. The Dog Show is definitely the thing that everyone enjoyed. Well done to Friends of Roxbourne Park for a successful show. Julie Waller, Chair, The Pinner Association. ## **Report of the Open Meeting / The Pinner Association 88th Annual General Meeting held on 19th April 2021 via an online webinar.** ## **Minutes of the 88th AGM of The Pinner Association** The formal business of the AGM commenced at 8.35pm. ## **Minutes of the 87th AGM:** The minutes of the 87th AGM held on 17th April 2019, as published on pages 69 - 75 of The Villager, No 244 – July 2019, were agreed by the meeting via an online vote, 48 members being in favour and 1 against. Matters Arising: None. ## **Acting - Chair’s Report:** As there had been no Pinner Association AGM held in 2020 due to the lockdown imposed to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, Julie Waller had been approved by the Pinner Association Acting-Chair on the resignation of the former Chairman, Christine Wallace, at the end of her three year term of office. Julie said that she had immediately considered how best the Pinner Association could serve the local community during the first lockdown and had decided that due to the age demographic of the committee it would not be possible to provide practical assistance. However, she had set up a new section of the Association’s website to provide information about which businesses in Pinner were still open or were providing on-line services and or “click and collect”. This was publicised via the Association’s social media platforms and quickly became the information hub for local Pinner businesses. Julie praised Christine’s three year stewardship of the Association and was thankful that she was remaining on the committee. A long serving member who was standing down at the AGM was Jill Cock, who had served as the Membership Secretary for 16 years, a very long time to cover such a demanding role. Jill had kindly agreed to continue to administer the distribution of The Villager magazine to those members who receive their copies by post. Julie thanked Jill for her many years of hard work for the Association. Another committee member who was standing down this year was James Kincaid, a past Chairman of the Association who had covered “Health” matters for the Association for at least 16 years, and again Julie thanked James for his long service. Page **4** of **7** Julie thanked the committee members who had been able to carry on with their roles during the pandemic. In particular Cynthia Wells who had been able to produce every edition of The Villager despite all the problems caused by lockdowns and the “Lanning” portfolio members who had covered a lot of work over the past year. The Area Leaders and Collectors had been the means of our members keeping in touch with the Association. The volunteer Collectors had been able to distribute the magazine to members and collect subscriptions from those members who still preferred to pay by cash or cheque, under the coordination of the Area Leaders, and Julie thanked them all for their efforts during these difficult times. The Summer Band Concerts in Pinner Memorial Park had had to be cancelled in 2020, due to the restrictions imposed to fight the pandemic, but it was hoped to hold these open air concerts in 2021 should the covid restrictions prevailing at the end of July and in early August allow. Those people who had indicated on the online survey conducted at the end of 2020 that they would be willing to volunteer for the Association would be contacted so they may help with the Band Concerts if these events could be held. The on-line survey had been held to gain feedback from our members and other Pinner residents in the absence of holding an AGM Open Meeting in 2020. The results showed that the Association needed to renew its efforts to be reflective of the ethnic diversity of the Pinner population so as to be inclusive and not exclusive. Over 140 comments had been received to some of the questions posed in the survey and these responses would take some time to review and Julie asked those who had completed the questionnaire to be patient whilst the results were analysed. Looking to the future Julie wished the Association to truly reflect the demographic of Pinner in terms of ethnicity and age as we needed to be relevant now and in the years ahead. ## **Treasurer’s Report:** Tim Owen, Honorary Treasurer, referred the meeting to his written report on pages 75 of the March 2021 edition No. 249 of The Villager, and the abbreviated accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 on pages 76 and 77. A copy of the fuller set of annual accounts, in the format required by the Charity Commission, and which had been examined by and signed off by the Independent Examiner, could be made available for any member who wished to see them. Some the 6% decrease in annual subscriptions received for 2020 had already been recovered in 2021. Additional income had been received in 2020 in the form of a £5,000 donation from the local Councillors, using their discretionary funds supplied by Harrow Council, specifically for the purpose of providing the festive lights and street Christmas trees in Pinner. This had resulted in a total income for 2020 of £29,307. The net cost of producing The Villager magazine had increased from £1,000 in 2019 to £4,000 in 2020 due to the loss of advertisement income. The cost of holding meetings in 2020 had been only two thirds of the previous year and it had been impossible to hold the annual Collectors’ Party, which meant that the total expenditure for 2020 had been £23,630. At the end of 2020 there was a total of £61,573 in the Association’s accounts, which was a good financial position. Tim said that the Association was in the position to fund projects that would improve the amenity of those in Pinner and asked members to put forward suggestions for consideration by the Committee. The full accounts had been approved by the Pinner Association Executive Committee on the 2nd February 2021, and subsequently inspected by the Independent Examiner who had given an unqualified report and a signed copy of the accounts was available for inspection. There being no questions on the Page **5** of **7** accounts, a vote was conducted on the motion to approve the end of year accounts for 2020 which was 53 votes in favour and none against and accordingly the accounts for 2020 were adopted. The signed adopted accounts would be filed with the Charity Commission. ## **Election of Officers and Executive Committee:** All the candidates for the elections had been duly nominated and seconded and all the posts for election were unopposed. Julie Waller, Acting-Chair, conducted the election of the President. The only nominee was Robin Youle and he was duly elected by the meeting (56 votes for and none against). Robin Youle, President, then spoke as he wished to formally record the loss of two Life Vice-Presidnets of the Association. Martin Verden had died in March 2020 and his obituary had been published in The Villager edition 247 July 2020. Martin had been the Honorary Secretary of the Association in 1961 and continued to be very active on the committee until recently. Joanne Verden, who died in December and whose obituary was in The Villager edition 249 March 2021, had joined the committee in 1970 and was a past Chairman, had been much involved with the environment , especially our local parks and trees, and had been fundamental in the creation of the Peace Garden in Pinner Memorial Park. Robin added his thanks to Jill Cock who was retiring after a long term as our Honorary Membership Secretary and James Kincaid who had served as Vice-Chairman and Chairman from 2004 to 2009. He also thanked Christine Wallace for all her work from 2017 to 2020 as Chairman. Robin then conducted the election of Julie Waller for the post of Chair, praising her for acting as the temporary Advertisements Manager and for administering the Association’s website and social media platforms and setting up the “Zoom” committee meetings, and the meeting voted unaminously (56 votes for, none against) for her election as Chair of the Association. The Chair then conducted the election of the Officers. For the Officer posts there no contested positions, and the following, having been nominated and seconded by the due date, were confirmed in post with the agreement via a vote of the members (57 for, none against): Hon. Secretary – Ruth Boff; Hon. Treasurer – Tim Owen; Hon. Membership Secretary –Alison Whitehead; Hon. Editor of The Villager – Cynthia Wells. There had been no nomination for the post of Vice-Chair. There had been seven Executive Committee nominations for the ten posts available under the Constitution, and the following, having been nominated and seconded by the due date, were confirmed in post with the agreement via a unanimous vote of the members present (51 for, none against): Rahul Aggarwal, Ed Badke, Shirley Clark, Warwick Hillman, Keith Rookledge, Christine Wallace and Bruce Watson. Three elected Committee positions remained vacant. ## **Vote of thanks to, and election of, the Hon. Independent Examining Accountant:** Tim thanked the Hon. Independent Examining Accountant, Mr Anthony Fineberg, who had kindly agreed to act in this capacity again. He proposed the vote of thanks to Mr Fineberg and his re-election as the Independent Examining Accountant for the coming year, and this was passed unanimously by the meeting (56 for, none against). ## **A.O.B.:** “Shop Local in Pinner”: Elizabeth Thorpe thanked Julie for the promotion by the Association via social media for the “Shop Local in Pinner” campaign that sought to support the Pinner businesses and get more local people to use them. Everyone on “Facebook” was asked to site and post a “like” and also hashtag “Shop Local In Pinner”, and Julie said she would post another reminder on the Association’s site for people to do so. Page **6** of **7** Use of Pinner Village Hall for Courses for Young People: Ms Freedman enquired whether it had been considered whether the Association could support the Pinner Village Hall may be used as a venue for school holiday organised activities for young people during the school holidays? Julie replied that the Pinner Village Hall was administered by the Pinner and District Community Association and they would have to agree to let the Hall out for such purposes, and asked Ms Freedman to write a proposal for the Association committee to consider. The formal business of the AGM closed at 9.10pm.
