AGM Reports
An AGM (Annual General Meeting) is a special yearly get-together where the Friends of Fortune Green talk about how we look after our park. It helps us plan fun activities and make sure the Green stays beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
It is essentially a big team meeting to share ideas and celebrate our work (yes, there are cakes and tea!). During the meeting, we discuss and approve our annual report, which is a summary of everything we've done over the past year. We usually hold our AGM each year in April in West Hampstead.
FoFG maintains minutes of the AGM. Keeping these records is really important because it shows everyone how we are looking after Fortune Green. If you would like to view a copy of the AGM minutes, please email our Treasurer, Jackie Spreckley: fortunegreen@gmail.com
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
