Achievements During the Year
Encouraging community participation in local events and in particular in the continued upgrading of Borrington Park. I helped through OCAG, to organise the very successful 2008 Borrington Bash local community carnival and manned a stall issuing light bulbs and water hogs. The Carnival will be repeated on 4th July 2009 and will hopefully become an Annual Event.
Helping to develop the Offmore/Comberton Partnerships & Communities Together (PACT) as an extremely successful and well regarded event which has been observed by HMIC.
Members' Surgeries
I held a drop in surgery for the local Polish Community every Sunday at the Polish Ex-Servicemen's Club, this has now relocated to St. Ambrose Parish Club, otherwise I deal with casework on a one to one basis.
