This meeting did not follow the usual format as Ian Mears and Ken Connolly made a presentation re Credit Union in the first part of the meeting which took us to 8.30pm before CN’s business was started.

3. Presentation by Ian Mears – Credit Union

It was agreed by all that the presentation was excellent and gave the committee much food for thought. Ian has agreed to bring information for residents at the Open Day to be held in September at EB. Leaflets were left for distribution to interested parties.

4. Building Progress Update

CJB advised there would be no site meeting on Thursday 19th July.

5. Finance

Details of tables and chairs for the Centre were circulated.

In a meeting with Ellis Williams and RGR re costing including omissions etc, and with outstanding items still to buy there looks to be an overspend of approx £12k. Until paperwork with costings come from RGR the amount can only be approximate. Menter Mon have been informed and they are looking at extra funding. The Shell ‘Pipeline’ fund to be investigated.

Fundraising still needs to be a priority when the centre is operational.


RR reported that a resident had suggested a ‘Promises’ auction to coincide with the opening of EB.
Prize and cash bingo were also discussed. Aberffraw holds a cash bingo session regularly – is a licence needed? This to be followed up.

6. Recruitment/selection Project Worker posts

The Early years post has been filled and if the candidate for ASC is able to reschedule childcare arrangements it is hopeful that she will be appointed.

7. Update on meetings with external agencies

Draft agreements for hall users eg health visitors, youth service were presented to the committee. There is much disquiet about the suitability of the youth worker allocated to EB. It was agreed that the kitchen is out of bounds during the session on Thursday evening; the agreement to be amended accordingly.

8. AOB
a. RR requested the gantry currently in EB be removed.
b. JR to contact Norman Evans re hire of room at PJI for church meetings
