Trustee’s Report
The Trustees are satisfied with the progress of the LAYCA Organisation. I would like to thank my fellow trustees, Ann Hunter and Gary Allport for their support in the LAYCA community centre.
Ann Hunter is now our social secretary and Gary Allport is our president. Our treasurer Daphne Rayner died in February, we miss her very much. We now have two new treasurers, Mrs Carol Davis and Mr Callum O’Hara.
We are now in our 27[th] year and we get good support from the public. Our bookings are very good, and we make the public welcome. Bingo is very popular on a Wednesday and a Friday thanks go to Joan for running it.
Our finances are in good order.
Thanks go to the committee and all our volunteers.
We have our Lighthall nursery in the building which good work in this locality. We work very closely with them.
Our council representative on the committee is Annette Mackenzie, who is the new Mayor of Solihull for the next twelve months.
John Shaw,
Chairman, Trustee.
