Issue - meetings

(i)         Group Presentations

The Chair advised that Consultative Committee agendas would include a brief report and presentation at each meeting from 3 nominated members explaining what the groups they represented were all about and how they related to the Palace.  Consultative Committee Members would be given the opportunity to ask questions after the presentations.

(ii)        Tottenham Carnival

The Chair referred the recent Tottenham Carnival and stated that an opportunity to market the Palace at the event had been lost.  He suggested that a stall advertising Palace and Park activities be set up at future similar events.

The Committee also felt that wider use could be made of the internet and “Google-map” to market the Palace and Park, including the suggestion of a virtual tour and photos of the park and links to residents’ associations’ websites.   Mr Evison agreed and explained that the website for the Palace and Park would be reviewed in the near future.

(iii)       Showcase Event

The Chair proposed that an open event be held, possibly in the Londesborough Room at the Palace, to advertise the organisation and offering an opportunity for members of the public to meet the Board, with associates of both the Advisory and Consultative Committees in attendance, having a small stall and explaining what they were about.

(iv)       Thanks

Committee Members expressed thanks to David Loudfoot (Former General Manager, Alexandra Palace) and Irene French (Former Office Manager and PA) for their many years of hard work at the Palace.
