RoFTRA Board Meeting

RoFTRA's Board meeting involved important decisions about the organisation's future development.

The agenda also included items on RBH issues; receiving a report of the latest joint Chairs' and Lead Officers' meeting; Lower Falinge in Focus and financial matters.

Central to the Board's discussion was progress on the restructuring of the organisation that had been agreed at its 24-hour residential event of 15/16 August. A full report from the Board's Chief Officer was welcomed and endorsed with details of progress towards a future that is both sustainable and strategically focused.

The meeting approved the audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2008/9 presented by its auditors Gee & Robinson and showing expenditure and income roughly equal around £840k, very similar to the turnover of 2007/8.

It was agreed that RoFTRA's 2008 Annual General Meeting would be held on Monday 8 December, one week ofter its move to new premises at Deen House, Station Road, Rochdale to give members the opportunity to see the new office base and celebrate the entry to a new development stage in RoFTRA's life.
