AOB
We discussed combining insurance with other Ossett and Gawthorpe groups and societies. We think this is not possible due to the need of an overarching organisation.
It was decided to keep the BOB logo and just change the wording to 'Visit Ossett'. It was agreed to use a strap line suggested by AB: Visit Ossett is committed to building a better Ossett.
Heritage Day. Ossett Through The Ages to offer a tour of the town hall if we have access.
Trophies for winners of Classic Car show. Still to decide.
AB suggested separating Visit Ossett events from other Ossett events on the website. This was agreed.
BR informed the group of The HARIBO Happiness Fund which aims to support local projects. The fund will provide support for initiatives that bring together older (50+ years old) and younger (up to 25 years old) people in a safe way.
Next meeting Tuesday 5 April at 7pm at Trinity Centre.
