Chamber of Trade - Aims & Activities
Some of our current aims and activities.......
The present national and local climate demands that we put an increased emphasis on partnership. There are many statutory bodies and organisations which operate within the Seaham area. We are already working with some of them to benefit both the town and our own members.
Our intention is to significantly extend our range of partnerships.
Currently we are:
- involved in the "Seaham Harbour OnLine" internet project
- involved in promoting the town of Seaham and its neighbouring villages.
- actively promoting better trade between our Seaham and Murton members.
- involved in planning for the regeneration of the Seaham and Murton area
- mounting a massive campaign to recruit new members to our own organisation.
Karen Takes Over
At the Annual Meeting of the Chamber, 'retiring' President, Bill Brooks, handed over the reigns to Mrs Karen Batey of Karen's Florist. Bill who has been a Chamber stalwart for forty years emphasised that he wanted the Chamber to consider his 'retirement' as superficial. He has promised to continue his drive for new members with the same enthusiasm which has been his hallmark during his term of office.
In her inaugural speech, Karen spoke of her enthusiasm for the changes which the Chamber were planning for the forthcoming year and pledged herself to the task ahead.
" I am honoured to be elected to this position and I will give it my best shot", she promised.
If you would like more information about membership, why not drop us a line. or telephone Bill Brooks (0191) 581 3955.
