Introduction

limited liability company registered at Companies House and with the
Charity Commission for England and Wales. It exists to promote
facilities for recreation and leisure activities for the benefit of
the inhabitants of the parish of Talley, particularly the provision
of public amenities and public woodland.
The Association is run in accordance with its "Articles of
Association" by a team of Trustees.These are elected from among the
members at the Annual General Meeting held each September. The
Trustees hold regular meetings, to which all members are invited.
Although only Trustees may vote at these meetings, members are free
to speak and raise any concerns they may have or any other relevant
topic they consider worthy of consideration by the Trustees. Any
local resident may apply to become a member. Residents may become an

they belong. Many local organisations are represented among the
membership, including Capel Esgairnant, Cymdeithas Cwmdu, FUW, the
Luncheon Club, Providence Chapel, St Michael’s Church, Talley CP
School, Talley History Society and Talley Tigers. If YOU want to see
improved leisure facilities provided for Talley, why not join us?
