I started today meeting with Sarah Pinnock and Kathryn Robson of WBC to discuss the need to link together WBC’s Cultural and Community Engagement strategies with our own nascient Community Development strategy and the Community Empowerment strategy that will be prepared by the new Watford Community Housing Trust. We had a very helpful discussion during which I also pressed successfully for the inclusion of the Hertfordshire Community Foundation who would soon be establishing a Watford Community Fund.

Over the coming years, this quadumvirate could be a key grouping.

I also got to follow up last week’s meetings: sending thank you notes to speakers at Networking Lunch and the AGM, and welcoming aboard our two new trustees with promises of a proper induction before our next meeting.

In the evening, aged Ken (our decrepit cat) lost his final tooth. A sad occasion.
