* Contact and consult other local groups, particularly those under-represented by the Park members
* Include a variety of activities and projects which are likely to appeal to a wide cross section of interests within the local community




ORGANISATION:

* the Friends consists of a committee (the committee) and a number of special interest groups, including graffiti, antisocial behaviour and litter, restoration, facilities, play areas, social activities, and wild life groups (these may change from time to time)

* The Committee is comprised of officers elected annually at a general meeting namely Richard Howell
(chair), Sarah McMurchie (sec), John Mayne (treasurer), Martin Weitz (publicity)and a representative of each special interest group who may attend committee meetings and communicate the views, plans and activities of the special interest groups

* The Committee may co-opt members to fulfil other functions as required

* All members of the committee present at meetings may vote and the quorum for the committee will consist of 3 officers and 2 others

* Decisions will be taken by a majority vote of the committee

I happen to agree with you that The Troll as you put it is perhaps not as good as Jack Vettriano or David Hockney but it's better than graffiti
