Annual General Meeting – June 2025 Highlights
Teg Down Nature Group held its second Annual General Meeting on Thursday 5 June at Wesley Church Hall. Members and neighbours came together to reflect on a successful first year, elect the new committee, and share plans for the year ahead.
Committee for 2025–26
We warmly thanked the outgoing team and are pleased to announce the new officers:
- Chair: Simon Eden
- Treasurer: Lex Pattison
- Secretary & Communications Co-ordinator: Anne Weir
- Programme Co-ordinator: Susie Nicodemi
- Additional support: Helen Gillingham, Kevin Hutchins and Susan Witt (web, newsletter, and events)
Year One Highlights
Our first year saw a wide range of activities, from fungi forays and bat walks to a popular Gardening for Wildlife talk. The verges project on Teg Down is now underway, supported by a grant from Winchester Rotary. Our newsletters reach over 100 households and we are building links with other local groups through Team Wilder.
Planning Ahead
The group has developed a business plan to guide future activities and support funding bids. Communications remain key, and a new website is due to launch in the next few months. We’re also looking for someone local to help manage our social media.
Ideas for the coming year include more walks, surveys, and nature gardening. A discussion about Weeke Pond highlighted the potential for collaborative stewardship. We’ll also stay informed on local planning and how changes to city governance may affect our area.
Thank you to all who took part and continue to support the group. If you’d like to get involved or join our mailing list, we’d love to hear from you (info@tegdownnature.org)
