Foyle Branch AGM 2010
The 2010 AGM took place in the Foyle Disability Resource Centre on Tuesday, 25 May. The meeting was addressed by the Mayor, Councillor Paul Fleming. Terry reported another very busy year. Raymond McGinn was elected Chairperson and Naomi O'Loughlin was elected Vice-Chairperson. The members of the outgoing committee were all re-elected.
Raymond, pictured above with Terry & Eunan, doesn't look too overwhelmed by his elevation to high office but don't be fooled by the smile - expect him to run a tight ship and keep the committee members' noses to the grindwheel.
