The meeting was adjourned at the point and time determined in the Agenda. The meeting will resume for Part Two at a date and time yet to be determined. It will be members only.
A number of residents stayed behind and held a meeting and presumably elected officers who they will say are the new committee for the society. The founding members of the Society and current members do not agree.
Nevertheless, we wish them well with their new society. Additional representation can only be good for Weymouth.
