MERIDEN FESTIVAL The association’s AGM was held on the 12th January, those present agreed that we should continue the good work of promoting the Festival under the chairmanship of John Yates assisted by a new vice-chairman, David Maugham, a member of the Meriden Rotary Club. The secretary, treasurer and committee members remain as before. Everyone present agreed that the Festival makes a valuable contribution to encouraging a more effective community spirit within Meriden and the surrounding areas. Although some problems were experienced last year over public liability insurance, the officers of the association are confident that these issues can be resolved for future activities. The 2006 Festival will commence with a launch at the Cyclist’s Memorial service and sponsored rides on Sunday the 21st May, the Centre Celebrations on the 10th June and conclude with the Meriden Motorcycle Megaride on the 25th June. The dates for other events have yet to be confirmed. Any organisation wishing to have an event included in the festival should contact John Yates – Meriden Festival, PO Box 470, Meriden CV7 7YT or e-mail David Maugham – maugham97@aol.com
