September 2002 - CBCT Briefing 3

Sharing the Vision - Building the Dream

CBCT needs YOU!

Residents' Representative

The Barracks Trust is having its second AGM at the end of November 2002. Provision was made when the Trust was set up to replace each of the two Linden Trust Board members with a resident in year 2 and an employer in year 3.

Trustees have all the legal responsibilities of a company director, which is what they are, and, because the Trust is a registered charity they also have to make sure that it is properly run.

For those who would like to know more about what Trustees are, Dick Moran can supply you with the information or you can look it up on the Charity Commission website at www.charity-commission.gov.uk.

A welcome document for new trustees from the Charity Commission can be found at www.charity-commission.gov.uk/ publications/pdfs/welctrus.pdf (This file can be read by Adobe’s Acrobat Reader which is available free from www.adobe.com)

If you would like to set up or help us set up a community newspaper or community radio, work with us to provide opportunities for play or learning, then you could be a real asset to this innovative and highly regarded project.

Whether you are fascinated by its history or determined to make this one of the first really sustainable communities in the country, this is your chance to make a difference.

You don’t have to be nominated by someone else, you can put yourself forward. All you have to do is to provide a short description of yourself and your interests with, if possible, some explanation of why you wish to be considered. If you want help writing this you can call us.

The nominations have to be returned by Sunday 29th September. You can return them in person to CBCT through the Sales Office, the Security Office or by post. Elections will be in October by postal ballot to every household after nominations have closed.
