| 3 | Noticeboard: Hugh contacted Rachel Victor-Sampson and following his conversation Patti forwarded the relevant string of emails.

| 4 | Marie Curie Coffee Mornings: These continue to be held every month in the Brentford Dock club room to raise funds. The next one will be on Monday 18th May from 10:30 to 12:30. Please attend all who are available – a very pleasant way to spend some time and for a very good cause. They are also holding a High Tea on Friday 26th June from 3:15 to 5:30. This will include sandwiches, cake, scones and more for a very modest price of £5:50 which will be donated to Marie Curie. It is hoped that as many BRAG members as possible will attend – it should be fun! | ALL |
| 5 | RECYCLING COMPOSITE PACKAGING: Trials are progressing. Louisa will keep us informed as and when there is any news. | LP |
| 6 | BRENTFORD FESTIVAL 2015: Sunday, 6th September. As last year, this will be held in Blondin Park. Please note your diaries! | ALL |
| 7 | GRANT MONITORING: As nothing further has been heard, it would appear that our report was received and is satisfactory. | HP PH |
| 8 | COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS UNIT at LBH: Dr Ellie Francis-Brophy, Principal Investment Officer, invited BRAG to participate in a compost giveaway day event to be held at the Church Road Community Allotment, Hanworth, on Saturday 30th May from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. It was agreed that due to the distance and short notice we would not take part but would pass on the information and encourage as many members as possible to attend. |
