4. President’s and General Secretary’s Report: Presented by Ashley Shirlin Ashley Shirlin explained to the Meeting that the election of SOSA’s next School Committee Representative was being brought forward to the beginning of the Meeting so that the elected individual’s name could be passed directly to Sibford General Meeting’s AGM which was taking place at the same time. Amanda Brown (Proposed by


Richard Hughes and Seconded by Harriet Langridge) was unanimously elected as SOSA’s School Committee Representative for the period 1st January 2018 – 31st December 2021.


Ashley then continued: This is the second and final time that I will be making a report as your President. When I was invited to become Vice President and then President I set out to achieve various goals. I wanted to put the Association’s finances back on a sound footing, I wanted to modernise the website. I wanted to restructure the Committee and make decision making more open. I wanted to turn SOSA into a registered charity. I wanted to invest in the archives. I wanted to change the perception of SOSA being an old codgers group.


Looking back on the last three


years I’ve had mixed success in achieving these goals.
