We currently have two sub-groups of the main Committee:
1) Ronnan Renovation Group RRG
  Phase one was set up in Nov 2021. There was a thorough investigation of the problems, an EGM to approve costs, implementation of repairs and the hut re-opened in April 2023. Our thanks to Lizzie, the group and many members.
  Phase two started in 2024
The old Post Office building has been demolished. A steering committee (Lizzie, Diana, Alice, Anne-Marie and Lis) was involved in the next steps. 
 We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, after planning permission etc. Our drying room ‘shed’ is on the horizon.
With many thanks to Lizzie and the team

2) EDI Working Group

Emelia Crighton (chair), Emma Bathgate, Lis Cook, Amanda Grant, Anne-Marie Nuttall, Noelle Ryan, Emmanuelle Tulle, Mary Webster
