DCJ reminded members that the previous AGM was in May 2022 because community
council elec ons were s ll taking place in May 2023. Sadly, one member of the new
council, Donald MacLaren, died in July 2023 but, since then, two new members had
been co-opted. He itemised several ma!ers, da ng back to 2022, that were s ll in

service. Finally, he thanked all the members of the council for their hard work and
support, especially those with par cular rôles as office bearers. The full text of the
report has been published on the community council website. (www.blscc.org)
