Cymdeithas Twmbarlwm Society came into being after a public meeting in October 2010 organised by Rob Southall. A working committee was formed with Rob duly elected as the chairman of the new society.
After the first couple of years of successful campaigning and promotion of the society’s aims it was decided at the AGM in October 2012 that the Society should adopt the new constitution presented at the meeting and so proceed to becoming a small charity.
The constitution called for the AGM to appoint a group of Trustees to manage the affairs of the Society. Six members put their names forward to become Trustees and were duly elected.
Thus Cymdeithas Twmbarlwm Society officially became a small charity on 16th October 2012. The Constitution was updated to reflect the new charity status.
The Constitution was updated at the the 2019 AGM (click here to download).
The Trustees have also drawn up a list of priorities (click here to download) for the society with each Trustee leading on the various tasks in hand.
It was decided that the Trustees would meet on the first Monday of each month and that we would report to the wider membership at least every three months. In fact Trustees met every month until the 2017 AGM when it was decided to meet every two months – or if urgent matters came up for discussion.
The Constitution requires that all Trustees stand down at the AGM and seek re-election – below is a record of current and past Trustees.
