Subscriptions
At the AGM of the WCRA, held in 2003 it was agreed that annual subscriptions would no longer be collected, but that newcomers to the hamlets of Whiteleaf and Cadsden,  after January 2003, should be invited to join the Association and to pay a single fee of £5 per household.  This was agreed on the basis that if at some future date, significant funds were required for a special purpose (e.g. a fighting fund) then the Association would be able to make a special plea and subsequently undertake fund raising by approaching residents directly, as necessary.

In May 2024 residents were invited to make a £5 donation as agreed at the 2023 AGM to help WCRA to continue to have the funds to organise insured events, provide resident support and promote our hamlet community online. Payments can still be made through our online payment portal.

Meetings
An AGM is usually held in October at the Whiteleaf Golf Club.   Following the formal part of the meeting, a guest speaker is invited to make a short presentation on matters of local interest and other interesting topics to residents of the hamlets who attend. The Committee may call Extraordinary Meetings at 14 days notice, in order to deal with any urgent topic connected with matters affecting the WCRA community.

AGM Minutes can be found here.
