 The AGM provides an opportunity for our members (anyone who receives our newsletter) to come along, meet the Bristol Sands Committee, hear what we have been doing and make any suggestions for how you would like Bristol Sands to run. If you would like to raise a suggestion, please make sure you do it in advance of the meeting so that we can make sure the meeting runs on time.

After the AGM business is closed there will be refreshments and time to get to know one another. We would love to meet more of our members so if you are free please do come along.

The agenda for the meeting will be:-

1. Apologies
2. Minutes of the previous AGM
3. Nomination and re-election of committee members
4. Chair’s report
5. Treasurer’s report and annual accounts
6. Secretary’s report
7. Members comments
8. AOB

After a break last year we will once again be holding our Flower Drop from Clevedon Pier.  As in previous years we will continue to meet at Scarlett’s Tearoom (opposite the entrance to the Pier) from 10.30 am before heading over to the Pier for about 11.00 am.

The Flower Drop is a short and simple secular ceremony, usually with a few short words and a poem or two. It is an opportunity to mark and remember our loved ones in the company of others who understand our loss. Should anybody have any suggestions for secular poems or readings or indeed wish to read something themselves, please do not hesitate to contact Louise Oliver before hand to discuss.  Friends and family are also more than welcome to join you.

Sands will provide flowers and labels for writing your messages on the day. You are of course welcome to bring your own flowers, however for environmental reasons we do request that any messages are written on Biodegradable labels and are either self tying or are tied with a minimal amount of either Raffia or Garden Twine, in order to reduce the risk of marine life entanglement.

The Pier itself is charity run and there is a charge for entry, however, as before, Sands will cover the cost of this.  Attendance numbers and entry fee will be arranged at Scarlett’s before we enter the Pier.

The full postal address for Scarlett’s is Scarlett’s Café, 20 The Beach, Clevedon, North Somerset, BS21 7QU

For enquiries about the day, feedback or suggestions or if you are unable to attend and would like us to dedicate a flower on your behalf, please contact Louise Oliver on 01275 375500 or 0781 5510264 or email at flowers@bristolsands.org
