Robert contacted local people asking them to come on board. The initial committee consisted of Robert Barr, Jackie Mack, Emily Shedden, John Smith, Douglas Martin and Rev Jim Teasdale. 

An inaugural meeting in early August 2014 office bearers were elected: Robert Barr (Chair), Jackie Mack (Vice Chair), John Smith (Secretary), and Douglas Martin (Treasurer).

A Constitution was drawn up and agreed by all parties in mid-August.
