June 2008
The Annual General Meeting for 2008 was held on Thursday 5th June at Curridge Village Hall. Due to the change in the colour of bus tokens during the year, we received a large number from our clients, who were unable to use them by the required date. We therefore decided to utilise these, by making two donations, which we felt would benefit the whole community.
1. Chieveley Practice to update the waiting room at Compton Surgery.
2. West Berkshire Community Hospital for much needed Specialist Dental Equipment.
The chairman reported that during the year we had managed to attract a few more volunteers. it was also nice to welcome a few new faces onto the committee. Details of journeys are as below:
| Total Journeys | 1071 |
| Number of Drivers Used | 41 |
| Number of villages Served | 22 |
| Mileage Covered | 14492 |
| Handybus Miles | 7129 |
| Handybus Passengers | 1201 |
