It was reported that all reasonable steps had been taken to assure the local authority that the new representatives namely Gen Chogma and Emma Walden were appropriate representatives to fill the vacant positions.

IT WAS AGREED – That Members note the appointment of :

(a)    Gen Chogma as the named representative for Buddhism and that membership be for a period of four years; and

(b)   Emma Walden as the named representative of the Darlington Methodist Church and that membership be for a period of four years.
