2022 AGM Minutes

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.

Minutes of the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

Close Shave

Rob as work commences at Michelle’s hands

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.

Michelle, Rob and Mo – cut and colour completed

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!
