Update on the Area VCS Network Meeting 10th December 2009

About 15 people turned up for the meeting, which was chaired by Cllr John Kelly.

Those present were informed how the Washington Area Voluntary & Community Sector Network would feed into the Area Committee in relation to the Washington Local Area Plan.

Funding has been made available for more support from the Sunderland CVS but their representative was unable to attend this meeting.

Under restructuring of the City’s Community Development Service, Washington now has its own Community Development Officer, John Rostron. However as many will know John is on long term sick leave and Amanda Cantle, who covers the Sunderland North area, is filling in for him.

The Washington VCS Network will be represented by three elected representatives who will act as a conduit between the Network and the Area Committee.

There was a short workshop where we broke into 2 groups and discussed the terms of reference for the representatives.

The post of representative is self nominated and nomination forms must be received by 22nd January 2009. You can get your copy by clicking on the following link. SELF NOMINATION FORM

The terms of reference can be found on the following link TOR LINK

The next meeting of the Washington Area VCS Network will take place on a date and location to be arranged in February.

If you have any questions please contact Amanda Cantle or Jill Hibberd on 0191 561 4587

Washington Glebe Miners Banner Group

Glebe Pit

The newly formed Washington Glebe Miners Banner Group is looking for members.

The aim of the group is to find funding for a new banner and the hope is that it will be ready in time to be paraded at the 2010 Durham Miners Gala.

The banner will also be displayed at future Washington events to celebrate the local history and mining heritage of the town.

If you are interested in supporting the project or becoming a banner carrier please contact Derek Sleightholme on 0191 4163789 or email nl52wyv@aol.com
