The Hospitalité Council

The Catholic Association Hospitalité exists for its members and it is hoped that each member will feel encouraged and enabled to participate in the organisation at whatever level he or she wishes. To ensure the smooth-running of the Hospitalité, its activities are overseen and animated by a Council of officers made up of its members.

The Council is responsible for upholding and promoting the aims of the Hospitalité and publicises the activities of the Catholic Association Pilgrimage to the wider community. The Council meets at least three times a year.

The Council consists of:

In addition there are three elected members, each elected for a three-year term.

Andy Joyce (until Feb 2008)
James Walden (until Feb 2009)
Martine O'Meara (until Feb 2010)

The Council may co-opt any member(s) of the Hospitalité at its discretion at any time.

Co-opted members:
Simon Gallop (Stage Representative)

Vacant and soon-to-be-vacant Council positions (those which are not appointed by the C.A. Trustees) are usually advertised in Lourdes and on the website. At this time members are invited to send nominations to the Secretary of the Hospitalité. The names of candidates (along with their photographs and biographies where appropriate) are then advertised in the Autumn newsletter (November), which will be accompanied by the appropriate number of voting slips for each household. The results shall then be announced at the AGM and in the subsequent newsletter (May).
