Criw Niwbwrch Cyf Minutes of General Meeting 26th September 2007 Present: Ken Bowler (Treasurer) Delyth Owen (Barnardos) 2. Matters arising from minutes of last general meeting 3. Probation team painted hall and some of small room The minutes were accepted by the committee as a true account of the
meeting of
MW attended first day meeting of Credit Union Operators and since spoken
with Y Llechen; there is a major issue that if CNC were to go ahead
as a Credit Union Collection Point, there will be no rental towards
EB’s costs. Money from County Council has been made available
to run CU in other areas eg Communities First in Holyhead. CU in EB
could be subsidised if committee is to go ahead. Training at EB for
two days with volunteers undertaking to carry out job of running collection
point raises the issue of who would do this, locals or incomers? As
yet, locals have not been approached. NH queried number of potential
users interested in CU. MW advised that a deprived area such as Newborough
needs credit with possibly one/two collections per week. Currently,
there is a number of residents with high interest payments being made
to local alternative operators but this raises the issue of sensitive
personal issues that potential users would not wish everyone to know.
MW suggested that appropriate people who were not involved in CNC committee
might be more appealing to potential users. TH suggested it run for
a time and see how it goes. The financial responsibility of CNC directors
was discussed as there would be no money to hire the hall and the overheads
would remain. This could be viewed as providing a service to the residents
such as CAB that pays very little in rent but provides a service. 4. Position of Chair HT advised the committee that as she was in a better position to be able to give more time to CNC, she was putting her name forward as Chair. She was duly elected. 5.Finance KB advised that the total bill for the building contract had come in at £1387 below the original quote. A sum of £7,736 net as retention to be paid by end of March 2008; there will be no formal handover. Menter Mon to be approached for payment of RGR’s bill. KB explained how large cheques are made payable to him via a credit card on which all bills have been paid by him for materials etc. So far, since the opening of EB, £724 has been acquired via sales of ice cream, raffle, aerobics fees, bookings, donations, courses etc. Currently there is £64K in bank, and there are two outstanding payments yet to be made, to the builder and the flooring people. He advised that he has carried out a projection on spreadsheets and he predicts that by the end of the financial year ie March 2008, there will be £1.5k in the bank. After March he will look into the cost of winding up the company in its current form when applying for charitable status; the implications of the fulfilment of parts of the lease if that happens needs to be investigated. 6. Building The bulk of the building works has been done. RS requested that plate drying racks be installed. Work still be carried out before the retention is due as follows: There are still some items that CN need to finance and fit eg polycarbonate
for the windows that look out over the garden area and the kitchen hatch.
