Our next meeting is the Chamber picnic on Wednesday July 7th. We are meeting at 6.15 at Syon House in time for a tour of the digs at 6.30pm. This year they have found stained glass windows from the Abbey which has recognisable details on. Please bring a light picnic with you. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible and hope the sun will attend as well.
Ian McDonald of SPA Ltd (Strategic Planning Advice) spoke on employment in Brentford at the AGM, and his speech is summarised below.
Ian’s company has been looking at employment opportunities in Brentford, with particular respect to Commerce Road site for ISIS. It is no longer clear what type of employment should be pushed in Brentford, along with the national economic picture and other serious considerations like climate change. Busness as usual will not work.
There were over 40 members and guests present.
Peter Hughes, President, welcomed everybody to the Hock Cellar and thanked our two hostesses for providing warm Fuller’s hospitality and a well attended brewery tour.
Apologies were received from Mary Macleod, Andy Ward, Brian Burgess, Allan Cooper, Jennifer Corbin, Andrew Wright, Mary Spice, Janet McNamara, Denise Colliver, Lynn Scrivener and Leslie Feore.
The next General Meeting is the AGM on Tuesday 18th May at The Hock Cellar, Fuller Smith and Turner, Griffin Brewery, Chiswick Lane South at 6pm for a 6.30pm start. As the tour of the brewery lasts an hour and a half it has been rescheduled to 5pm with limited places.

We look forward to the company of our new MP for Brentford and Isleworth, Mary Macleod and congratulate her on her new position.
