Action Porty AGM at Bellfield - June 22nd 2022 at 7pm (Reminder)
Action Porty welcomes members and other interested local people to our 2022 AGM.
This is an opportunity to hear about what has been a busy year for Action Porty, and to hear and comment on our plans for the future.
Having re-opened Bellfield in April, 2021, it is now busier than ever. However, we think we can make it an even better community facility, and will be sharing our initial thoughts on how we do this at the AGM. Beyond Bellfield, Action Porty is involved in a range of activity – from Heart Talk Porty to the proposed development of Seafield.
Come simply to hear about all that has been happening, or to talk with Ella Lees our volunteer co-ordinator about getting involved, or with a member of the board about joining one of our sub-groups.
Action Porty welcomes new members to our board and in particular we are looking for someone who is willing to put in the work once a year to get our annual accounts sorted and submitted. If you have any kind of financial experience, we would love to hear from you.

Their music is described as an 'uplifting mix of swing, rockabilly, jump jive, blues, drum & bass, all wrapped in a charming Italian sense of theatre and comedy'.
