Agenda for the 135^th Trustees’ Meeting of the Shrewsbury and Newport Canals Trust to be held as a virtual meeting via Amazon Chime on Thursday, 21^st May 2020, commencing at 19:30.

As it has become common practice to applaud NHS and other key workers at 20.00 each Thursday for their contributions during this Covid-19 pandemic,  break will be taken from 19.55 to 20.10 to enable those who wish to continue to participate to do so.

As this meeting is being held virtually via Amazon Chime, it is not possible for members to participate live.  If anyone has a question they wish to raise, please email Bernie Jones (bjones@sncanal.org.uk) before 18^th May 2020.
