With the help of Jennifer McKechnie, WDC Tenant Participation (financial audit and minute taking) and Councillor Hazel Sorrell (facilitation of the committee election), it was very successful meeting. Thanks to all whose who attended including former chairperson Hamish McNaught who always comes along to support us.
