IT IS sad and shocking news for Tetbury that so many Trustees resigned from the Dolphins Hall. These Trustees worked endless hours as a team to bring the hall back to being a community hall. The chair Maggie Heaven who read out her letter of resignation at the start of the recent meeting was then in an unprecedented show of support and unity followed by her vice-chair Colin Pearce, Treasurer and all 10 trustees and workers. They leave this project safely and everything in place, after such a long struggle. So thank you for all your hard work, although the real question is what could have been done to prevent this from happening.
