Today I chaired my first meeting of the Water Conservators’ Finance,
Membership and General Purposes Committee by zoom of course. Despite the
current pandemic restricting our normal on-site events, there is certainly still
a lot going on virtually and it was a busy meeting with a number of key items
discussed.
The recent recruitment flyer issued to members has produced a number of positive responses, and we are in discussion with 2 potential new corporate members, which is all very good news. We also discussed the successful webinars programme, and how we can improve it going forward. There were a host of interesting topics discussed for future webinars so the plan is to continue the webinars and hopefully continue to build our audience both inside and outside the Company.
In terms of other events we have the “Carol Festival” planned for the 15th December with our Chaplain Katherine Hedderley of All Hallows By The Tower. Planning is in progress for the WET10 debate “Which Way Water 2050” to held virtually on World Water Day, 22nd March 2021. We also discussed other potential events including a Cocktails Evening in January and a virtual networking event for young members and potential new members.
I can also report that the Company is very good financial shape despite the pandemic and we discussed potential improvements to the successful electronic banking system to make things even more cost effective.
