At the Annual General Meeting held on 15 December 2009 our founding Chairman, Jurat Nick Herbert, was insistent that after five years he should stand down as chairman of the Council. With great reluctance and regret members accepted his decision and a new chairman and officers of the Council were elected as follows:

• Geology, Archaeology and Landscape - Dr. J.T.Renouf
• Urban Conservation and Rescue - André Ferrari
• Fortifications - Paul Burnal
• Vernacular Architecture - Neil Molyneux
• Heritage Policy and Island Plan Review - John Mesch

• The Chairman and Vice Chairman
• All Group Leaders
• Elizabeth Horne
• Sue Kerley
• Paul Craig
• Jeremy Percival

The Chairman has received an invitation from the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture to take part in formulating a first Policy Plan for Cultural Heritage in Jersey. The Minister's letter which has been sent to all the heritage bodies in Jersey can be read here.

Council members will be receiving a copy of this letter with a list of suggestions for consideration when compiling the Council's list of its top ten priority projects or issues to be addressed for maintaining our cultural heritage.

The agreed list will be posted on this website after the list has been agreed by the Executive Committee at its next meeting planned to take place very shortly. The Council would welcome suggestions from anyone, whether Council members or not. Please submit your suggestions on the Guestbook here.
