Linda Bell is new Bristol Wireless Chair

Yesterday Bristol Wireless held its Annual General Meeting (news passim). About 10 members attended along with 2 guests.

Part of the proceedings inevitably included the election of the committee and we’re very pleased to announce that Linda Bell has agreed to be our Chair. Linda has been a Bristol Wireless member for many years and first became interested in our work when we were based at St Werburghs Community Centre, where Linda used to be the Director (she retired last year. Ed.).

Whilst at St Werburghs Community Centre, Linda oversaw its £1 mn. refurbishment and extension scheme, which was funded by the National Lottery.

Earlier this year, Linda was awarded the Lord Mayor’s medal for her services to Bristol and is a very well respected figure in Bristol’s voluntary and community sector.

Thanks for coming forward, Linda; we hope you enjoy your involvement with Bristol Wireless.

The other officers of the co-operative, the treasurer and company secretary, are still held by Julien Weston and Steve Woods respectively.
