Agenda
1. Apologies:
Nia Hughes Blodwen Hughes Barrie Freeman
2. Matters arising from minutes of last general meeting
3. Finance Update
Ellis Williams has been in contact …the new fire door has been installed
but it is still not satisfactory. KB suggested that it be referred to the
building sub group for putting right; then the building works can be brought
to a conclusion to be signed off by RGR.
4. Food Co-operative
This is being well supported by the community. It is hoped that cookery demonstrations
can be put on during sessions later in the year.
5. AOB
Sharon Jones, Youth Achievement Award scheme has been invoiced for sessions
@ £5 per hour.
3. Finance update
KB advised the meeting that the accounts
for year ending 2008 have been signed off. The up to date folder with financial
information will continue to be held by TH.
It was pointed out that there was an operating loss last year when monies
for building works carried out by CNC building sub group came out of reserves.
There were reserves of £3,532 at the end of December 2008. KB anticipates
less loss for the next accountancy year.
It was agreed by all that the £100 cheque given to CNC by Rhosyr Community
Council to go towards a business directory for the village be handed back
as there appears to be reluctance to follow up advertisers and the printing
of the directory. It will be discussed in the future if it is felt that it
could be achievable.
4. Forward Planning
The committee was advised that guaranteed
money from Education and Youth Service continues to be a good source of income
and more sessions from these sources to be encouraged.
The board in the office needs polycarbonate over it to discourage people from
rubbing out the weekly timetable as this causes much confusion and time wasting.
It was agreed that those people who have put their names forward for the committee
should be invited to the next general meeting when an informal session can
be held prior to the meeting itself to find out what skills and expertise
potential new members can offer to the group.
5. Raffle
It was agreed that a Christmas raffle be held. A gent’s unused bicycle (thanks to John Brown, Dwyran) and brand new double electric blanket (donated by the Home Safety group) are two of the prizes on offer. Businesses to be approached for more prizes. The draw to be held during an entertainment put on by CNC before Christmas.
6. 2nd Anniversary Celebration
This has been confirmed for Saturday 17th October 2009 with “Côr Meibion y Foel” providing the entertainment; they will donate their fee of £100 towards the proceeds of the evening for “Clic Sargent” the child cancer care charity. CJB to approach Edward Morris as a possible MC and also to find out numbers of the choir for seating. It was suggested that the evening be “Cawl a Chan” but this depends on the anticipated numbers of the choir attending.
7. Tidy Towns – the bins
The bins have arrived and DH will take them to Ysgol Niwbwrch for a presentation on Wednesday 15th July at 10.45am.
8. Diary
