BELMONT RURAL LETTERS

Belmont Centre AGM - no quorum
Last year’s message to the Belmont Rural community of “You never know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” struck a chord again last night at South Wye Community Association’s AGM when the necessary quorum of 20 people was not achieved and the meeting was abandoned. We know when and where we will meet again on this occasion: June 22, 7pm at the Belmont Community Centre.

However, living within the generally apathetic, dispiriting malaise endemic in Belmont Rural, the SWCA trustees cannot guarantee that their appetite to sustain the BCC will continue forever and, if their hunger to do unpaid and thankless charitable work is lost, the Belmont Centre’s closure will become the option for serious consideration.

The tragedy is the centre is in good repair, is well attended and has strong finances, but has insufficient volunteers to ensure its future.

When the present small band of seasoned SWCA veterans have had enough and if the centre then closes the Belmont Rural community might meet again (Don’t know where, don’t know when).

Probably by then all of us will be past caring whether it does or not!
