Two goodbyes
Following today's committee meeting, we now have two departures anticipated in a month or two.
One departure is that of our Membership Secretary, Jenny Boyce. We're very grateful to Jenny for all the time, energy, ideas and professionalism she has brought to the role. Jenny will be staying on until the end of March, but will then be leaving the position and the committee. This means there is plenty of time for Jenny to mentor our next Membership Secretary - could that be you? It's a pretty straightforward job, mainly consisting of keeping our list of members up-to-date (so you'd need to be fairly comfortable using a simple spreadsheet). Someone who is a bit more tech-inclined might also like to get involved in managing our mailing lists (not a big task; we have only around 300 people on our list). Do get in touch if you're interested in the role.
The other 'goodbye' is from NELIY to Facebook. Yes, we're joining the ranks of bodies who have decided to reduce or remove their presence from social media conglomerates that are largely under the control of individuals whose avowed values and politics seem far removed from yogic ethical principles. We don't use Instagram or X, but we've long had a Facebook (owned by Meta) Page, and that feels less appropriate these days. We'll make a further announcement about this, and probably shut the Page down towards the end of March.
Happy spring!
