We are pleased to announce a day of meditation practice which will include our AGM and a Sangha Saturday afternoon as well as sitting meditation in the morning. Everyone is most welcome to attend all or part of the day, we encourage Sangha members to attend the AGM and especially welcome people who would like to get more involved/ offer help – there will also be opportunities to talk more informally about this at lunchtime. The AGM also offers the chance to put forward your ideas for the group; the meeting will be held in a relaxed, friendly way.
The day will be organised as follows:
10.00 – 11.15 welcome, Sangha -led sitting and walking practice
11.15 – 11.30 tea break
11.30- 12.30 Annual General Meeting including election of new trustees and discussion of future plans
12.30 – 1.45 Lunch – opportunity to socialise and continue discussions informally

The doors will be open from 9.30am for the 10am start; if you are attending later for part of the day we ask if you can arrive at 1115am to join the AGM and between 1-1.30pm to join the afternoon activity. This is to ensure the practice periods are uninterrupted by coming and goings.
We are using the large room in Shirley House, it will be well ventilated . Drinks will be available throughout the day. Please bring your own lunch.
