Hillingdon Outdoor Activities Centre
I hope you are all still well and starting to enjoy the improving weather.
Unfortunately I still do not have any news to share with you, we are still waiting for information regarding our future, where we will operate and when we can re-open.
These delays are really frustrating and I would like to thank you for your continued patience whilst we all wait for some positive news.
As soon as we do have something to share then we will keep you all updated.
Our AGM is scheduled for 25th November 2021 and will follow the same format as last year.
The HOAC committee and the trustees will meet remotely.
If members/friends of the centre would like to submit questions to be answered at the meeting please send them in advance to the office.
After the meeting has taken place we will post draft minutes here for you to view.
You will then be able to vote on the matters arising from the meeting,
I had hoped that by now we would have been able to give you a positive update for next season.
Unfortunately we are still waiting to hear where we are going to be relocated to, the council are confident we will be operating in 2022 but other than that we do not have much of an update
We are poised to move and reset up our operations as soon as we can and hope you will continue to be patient and as soon as we have a positive update we will share it with all of you.

Unfortunately delays to our move caused by the ongoing pandemic,
Happy New Year.

Unfortunately we are not in that position yet and we still do not have confirmed plans for the season.
I am sure this is very frustrating to hear, and i assure you that the staff at HOAC all feel the same,
We held our HOAC AGM on Thursday 12th November.
For the first time ever this was an online meeting and to ensure we follow the correct protocol as suggested by the charities commission we would like to give our members the opportunity to vote on the key decisions that were highlighted at the meeting.
