Chair’s report Wendy thanked all ACF members for their support, in what she described as a rather quiet year. She said she mentioned at the last Cabinet meeting in June, how few items relating to social housing had been on the agenda over recent months but she had been assured that this was co-incidence and that the ACF are still being consulted on all relevant issues. Bridget said how pleasing it had been to see so many new people attending training courses and conferences this year and how many had remarked how useful they had found them. She said she was also pleased to see new residents’ groups being formed and new members joining the ACF. She thanked members for their help and reminded them that without their contributions, the ACF would simply not exist. Ruth distributed copies of the balance sheet to 30th June 2009, which showed total funds of £2,345.01. She said the biggest single expenditure in the past year was £310.50 spent on the upkeep of the Millennium Garden. 7.
