Notice of AGM
The Trust’s AGM will be held on 3rd December 2019 at 1.30 pm in Castle Doulas Public Hall to which you are cordially invited. Please RSVP to me: [email protected].
Due to the increasing activity we are looking for additional people to join the Trust as Trustees. We are looking for people with an enthusiasm for walking, horse- riding, cycling, water sports and ideally your experience of your local area to bring to the group. It is not an onerous obligation: 4 meetings a year, some background reading, and contributing to sustaining a £14m investment in Dumfries and Galloway’s countryside. If interested send a expression of interest (no more than 200 words) to me: [email protected].
