A Transcription of the Charter Granted by King John to The Burgesses of Stafford

The Annual Burgesses Meeting to review the activities of the Trustees and appoint new trustees was held on Monday 16th January 2012 under the chairmanship of the mayor of Stafford. Only some 25 burgesses attended or sent apologies, despite some 100 letters being sent. However, the main source of concern, namely the disposal of asbestos sheeting on the allotments site was well aired and he actions of the the trust were accepted by those present. Full details of the discussion and the chairman's report will appear on this site in due course.

After an election, (the first for many years), the current trustees were reinstated.
