A glorious evening of dappled sunshine, a light breeze and blue skies welcomes members of Chippenham CLP to their AGM in the Church Hall of St Patrick’s Church in Corsham.

Yet again another new community hall, funded by local fundraising efforts; a complement to local civic activists supporting the future of their community (and a remind that not only are meetings in such constituencies more distant for members, there are usually far fewer venues to choose from for meetings).

After some early AGM business to determine the chair and other officers, everyone attending introduced themselves and their part of the constituency, with members travelling from Bradford-on-Avon, Pickwick, Melksham, Chippenham and Corsham (a range of about eight miles in every direction).

Then the evening’s discussion got going in earnest – you can read more on that here.
