HCCA Annual General Meeting 2020
Thank you to everyone who came along to our zoom AGM. Draft minutes, which have been signed off by the committee, and which will be submitted for ratification next year can be found here.
We are sorry to lose Carol Lilwall from our committee, who has stepped down for health reasons, after many years of loyal service. We wish Carol all the best for the future.
We held our AGM online this year by Zoom because the Covid-19 regulations prevented us from meeting face-to-face.
Documents for the AGM are available here. The meeting dealt with the business side of our AGM in accordance with our requirements.
Community Survey
Thank you to all of you who completed the survey. There is plenty for the Management Committee to think about in the responses. First we thought it appropriate for you to be able to see a summary of those responses and you can find those here. In the New Year the committee will look in more detail to decide what we can do, what we might do and what we can't do and we aim then to produce a plan of action which we will share with you.
Coronavirus and our community
We are very aware that lives for everyone in our Community are being severely affected in one way or another during this pandemic. We want to wish everyone in our community the very best of health in this difficult time. We would be pleased to help anyone in our community if we can. So if you, or someone you know, needs help in any way please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to assist.
You can contact us by phoning 0117 929 1883 or send an email to admin@hotwellscliftonwood.org.uk
We are deliberately not providing advice on Coronavirus as this changes almost daily, and advice can be found at www.bristol.gov.uk/ or www.gov.uk/ or www.bbc.co.uk/news/coronavirus
Neighbourhood help groups have been established to assist those most in need, and just to support each other. It is our belief that help is most easily provided by those closest to each other, whether that is geographical, or as members of related families. We hope there is a help group within your reach.

Stay Safe. Keep Healthy.

Mary Poppins at Cliftonwood Open Air Cinema 2019
Welcome to Cliftonwood’s family film screening. This year the date is Friday 6th September and Cliftonwood voted for Mary Poppins.
Gates open at 7pm so come early to pick your spot, the film starts at 8pm. We provide 40 chairs on a first come first served basis. Most people bring rugs etc to sit on the grass.
Mary Poppins attire could add to the fun if you fancy dressing up. Though do wrap up warm as it gets chilly later! Food, drink and toilets are available at The Lion next door.
There is no interval and so the film should finish by 10pm.
For updates keep an eye on our Facebook page
We’re very grateful to The Lion for sponsoring our event
If you know of any local businesses that would like to sponsor the cinema please email emma.peddie@gmail.com
