Covent Garden London
The heart of London's West End
Secretary's Report
In my report last year, I wrote that, at times, being an officer of the CGCA could feel like trying to bail out a leaking boat with a thimble; but that it was particularly satisfying when (against all expectations) the boat didn't sink. Another year has passed with us still afloat, and having survived for 30 years, we face the future with renewed confidence.
I said at last year's AGM that two priorities for the year ahead were completion of a development plan and securing some long term funding. The gestation of the development plan has been almost as lengthy as that of an elephant, but it has finally seen the light of day, and copies are available from the CGCA office. I am most grateful to John Bos for all the effort he has put into the production of the plan.
This document was needed in order to make credible approaches to potential providers of long-term funding, and a programme of such approaches must be high on our list of priorities for the coming months.
As usual, we are seeking new blood and new ideas, and hope that volunteers will come forward at the AGM to carry the work of the CGCA forward with renewed vigour.
