The Barnsley Civic Trust 2025 Annual General Meeting took place on May 1st. Linda Burgess, BCT Chair, gave her report on activities since the last AGM in the autumn and Melvyn Lunn, Treasurer, presented the accounts for 2024-25.

The first priority of the Executive committee, elected at the last general meeting in October 2024, has been to look at, and simplify, the Constitution of the Society, reaffirming

• our commitment to being a non-political, voluntary organisation focused on promoting Barnsley, its heritage, buildings and future.
• that this covers Barnsley Metropolitan Borough, not just the town
• that the subscription period is the calendar year, reviewed annually

The revised constitution was accepted.

The current executive members and officers, elected in October 2024 were returned without opposition. They are: Linda Burgess, chair; Allen Parkes, secretary; Melvyn Lunn, treasurer. Committee members: Susan Browne, Edana Guest, Ian Harley, Michael Hardy, Peter Roberts, Janet Richardson and Ronnie Steele. Subsequently to the meeting Susan Browne offered take on the role of membership secretary.
