The AGM was held and the minutes are linked below. At the meeting Margaret Claydon (the last original Trustee) and John Ellis stood down having both served for lengthy periods as Trustees and in John’s case as Chair for many years. We thank both for their exemplary service to yelabus.
We welcome to the Committee some new faces, Paul Champney as Treasurer and David Shafto to look after IT. However more volunteers for both drivers and committee members would be welcomed.
On 16 November, Rob, the brother of one of our Trustees, Mo Ayres, decided to have a hair-cut and colour to aid our fundraising efforts. Michelle (Mo’s niece) undertook the deed and above you can see the cut in action!
The combined colour and cut has raised nearly £500 for yelabus’ coffers and this will enable us to continue delivering our community transport services after what has been a difficult couple of years all round.
We would like to thank Bob for his sacrifice and Michelle and Mo for aiding our income through this endeavour and hope that the trauma of the new colour was not too great!
The 2022 Annual General Meeting of the yelabus Association will be held at 13.00 on Tuesday 13th December 2022.
The meeting will be held in The Gallery Room at The Tythings next to Yateley Town Council Offices.

We are looking for people to help run the organisation, we are particularly looking to get onboard younger members. We meet at lunchtime every second Tuesday in Yateley.
We are particularly looking to strengthen our fundraising and media capability so if you have expertise in these areas it would be great but don’t be put off if you haven’t.
If you would like to be a part of yelabus, please get in contact.
Full training will be given and hours are to suit (mainly week days, possible evening/weekend work).
Most of our clients are elderly, and very much appreciate the local transport service we offer.
If you would like to be a part of that, please get in contact.
