TRMS hopes to start new season from January 2025.

Dear Friends of TRMS

I am pleased to inform you that with the help and support from my colleagues, TRMS has succeeded in taking the first step in securing its future from the threat of closure. Long road ahead still remains but I am confident that we now have a good chance to rescue the society.

TRMS's AGM took place on Monday, September 2nd, 2024 at 5.00pm in Watford. We were honoured to have the TRMS's President - Councillor Raj Khiroya, the Chair of the Three Rivers District Council attend this meeting.

A detailed account of the discussions that took place at the AGM are in the attached Draft minutes. It defined and agreed the basic framework of a way forward into 2025.

In conclusion, whereas we have made some progress in the right direction, there are still many more hurdles to cross. Despite these, I remain, as ever, cautiously optimistic for TRMS's future. I have every confidence that with the help of my colleagues and the loyal support from the music lovers of Rickmansworth, Chorleywood and Croxley Green, we shall overcome the current difficulties.

I hope to be able to give you a further update before Christmas.

Kind regards, Ash
