At the recent AG.M. Allison Williams the Manager was re-elected as Secretary, David Clay retained his role as Treasurer and Lesley Amison has agreed to Chair the Association for another year. The meeting was given comprehensive analysis of the current marketing of the town on the internet. Tribute was paid to the late Mrs Pat Podmore for the many years of service that she had given to the Publicity Association. The fact that of the nine people attending there were only two business operators, representing one business in the area. It must be assumed that the association is achieving all that is required of it by all the other businesses and that they are happy with the work done on their behalf. The new brochure is being snapped up both locally and from far afield which hopefully indicates the town can expect a busy season.
