Godalming Town Council meets as a body approximately six times a year. A “civic” year usually runs from early May and the first meeting of the Town Council in the year is called Annual Council and/or Mayor Making. The other five meetings are known as Full Council. Generally, the Council delegates its decision-making to its Committees, although there are some things such as setting the precept (the Town Council’s part of Council Tax) that it cannot lawfully delegate, and at most Council meetings the reports and minutes of all Committee meetings held since the last Council meeting are received. Full Council meetings are very formal and Godalming Town Council maintains an old tradition of robing for all Council meetings.
