RAPS 2025 AGM
Thank you, to all 36 of you who attended the RAPS AGM on Sunday 27th April at the Portsmouth Marriott Hotel. Special guests included our local MP, Amanda Martin and Councillor Brian Madgwick, who is also a Port Solent resident.
The Minutes will be published on this website shortly but in the meantime you are asked not to spread details of the business of the AGM to parties who were not in attendance. On this occasion an individual, who was named in the Chair's Report was contacted after the meeting and given to understand, incorrectly, that he had been spoken of unkindly. That person is Carl Inman and he has made his complaint public on Facebook. As Chair I have been obliged to comment:
While the recorded business of a RAPS AGM is not for wider distribution, somebody who was present at yesterday’s AGM has led Carl to believe that the meeting spoke unkindly about him. As Chair I am, of course, very sorry that he should have heard anything of the kind and am disturbed that anyone in attendance yesterday could have come to such a misunderstanding.
​
If our thanks to Carl for years of support were not made sufficiently explicit at the AGM then let it be placed on record now that for the avoidance of any doubt RAPS is wholeheartedly grateful for all the support generously given by Carl.
