Royal Blind School.
Immediately after the AGM last October, the treasurer paid a £100 donation to the Royal Blind School as the members had requested. The Blind School acknowledged our donation by letter and today (9th March 2011) Deborah has been invited to represent SARA on April 6th at the schools first event, which will explain to any donors that year, how any gifts are used by the school. The treasurer will include a report of her evening at the 2011 AGM. SARA AGM 2011: a Thursday evening in October, date to be confirmed2011 SARA AGM at the Reid Memorial Church hall at the west
end of West Savile Terrace.

August 27th 2009: New Parking proposals to add more parking pressures in our area?
Whilst the extension to the Controlled Parking Zone into South Grange was defeated (partly by the objections which came from the SARA area), we may still be affected by lesser changes to deal with the worst of the problems in South Grange. There are new proposals to restrict parking there which, depending on the extent, may decant more resident and commuter parking onto our streets. In view of the published schedule, which suggests recommendations would be sent to the council at the end of September, and since there has been no further news on this, I've written to our councillors and the community council chairperson on 27/08/09, asking the current situation and to ensure we are fully consulted if there is to be any effect on us - see the messages under 'Parking Panel' in the discussions section.
