Matakana Community Group (MCG) chair Rachel Demler is stepping down after four years, and former chair Simon Barclay has volunteered to replace her.
Although Demler was officially re-elected at the group’s annual meeting on July 31, she said she would like to stand down due, at least in part, to suffering from long covid in recent months, and Barclay later put his hand up to take over the role.
The meeting itself was shorter than planned, thanks to the region-wide power cut that plunged the hall into darkness just before it began.
Fiona Strathern was re-elected treasurer and the secretary’s role remains vacant.
It was agreed to schedule the next MCG meeting within two months.
