TN Annual General Meeting 2009
This year we held our Annual General Meeting at the Salvation Army HQ on Roe Street. The main item on the agenda this year was Chairman David Pauline's resignation because of ill health and the election of Colin Turner to the post. Colin Turner has been a volunteer for many years, is a Team Leader on one of the four reading teams, and an Administrator. We all wish him every success in his new post.
