AGM 10th March 2020
The AGM was attended by 20 members during which the progress of our projects were updated and discussed with the attendees.
After seven years as Chair, Paul Forrest retired and a vote of thanks was made to him for all the work he has done as Chair. David Riddet, currently Secretary, was voted in as Chair.
Two new Trustees were welcomed - Toni Leggatt and David Protheroe, and the contributions from both of them will be very welcome.

Neilston to Uplawmoor Link
AUGUST 2020. Approval has now been received to move on to the vital detailed, Stage 3, design stage, involving more focussed discussions with everyone in both communities. There is a link to the Stage 1&2 report below.
NB. Design layouts are indicative only. Further community discussions will begin again as soon as COVID regulations allow.
APRIL 2020. Following the award of £40,000 from Sustrans (a charity making it easier for people to walk and cycle) preliminary design work to convert the old Neilston to Uplawmoor railway line to a walking and cycling track is progressing.
Community information sessions were carried out in Uplawmoor and Neilston and the response was overwhelmingly in favour. There are some issues to be resolved involving parties owning and abutting the proposed link and discussions are underway.
Martin Houston is our representative on the project.

MUGA
If anyone would like to start some team games using the MUGA, we have some funds available for equipment, coaching etc.

The Playing Field
Thanks to the many volunteers who turned out in Autumn last year. Sections of the path running round the playing field were drained and re-laid. The wet winter we had showed the success of the work.
There are still some sections to be done.
