We come to item 3. Rather than bring a set of papers to this meeting, particularly given the time constraints, we thought that we would arrange a business planning day in August. We used to call these things away days, but we are not allowed to have them away now, so it will be an away day here. Are members content that we do that and try to find a date that is mutually acceptable?
Not in August—I have holidays planned for August.
The reality is that, whether we have it in July or August, members will have holidays planned. We have to try to find a date that best fits most members of the committee.
I suggest that the clerks e-mail members to find out about availability and, I hope, get a date that suits everyone for the business planning day.
Are members content with that approach?
