UPDATE FROM WDA Annual General Meeting held 17/12/2025

At the AGM the management committee voted in favour of moving to a
5-person EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (EMC) in early 2026.
Any WDA member interested in joining the new EMC can put their name forward. Final date for applications is Wednesday the 31st December.
Election to the EMC will be decided by a WDA membership vote.
Members will know we are currently involved in a major initiative to upgrade our vehicle fleet and move away from wicker panniers to plastic crates. This is an exciting time to get involved in the future development of the WDA so if you’re interested in being involved don’t sit on your hands, put in an application for election. Give Bob McKie a call on 07308236113 if you would like more information.
