MINUTES of LAST MEETING:
The Minutes of the meeting held 29th. January 2018 were read.JT proposed and BE seconded that they were a true record. All agreed.
MATTERS ARISING:
- Lauren Gibson – Insurance. Disclaimer has been written into the Registration Form. All members to re-sign in the Summer Term
- Ambassador Programme – The visit to Melbourne chapel was considered to be a success in that two new members were welcomed into the Club. Suggestions for further visits included the Arts Centre / W.I (contact Hilary Saynor) / Local Radio / Tesco store – stand at Market Weighton. LG volunteered to contact the store. SC stated that the Rotary Club use ‘Out&About’ magazine to promote news and events. Cost £199 for 5k leaflet drops. AT to investigate further.
- BMKC – thank you letter sent and notification put in the Parish News.
SECRETARY’S REPORT:
- Age UK speaker. NS has been unable to make contact. Wondering if there is a misunderstanding with our aims and that of the monthly Boot coffee morning. Will continue to try and make contact.
- Average attendance in the last term was 14 – figure distorted by inclement weather when only 9 members were able to attend.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Bank balance stands at £3486.77. Unpresented cheques amount to £240.
LG requests to be paid monthly – All agreed
Easter Egg Raffle made £170. Letter of thanks to be put behind the Bar. Act.Sec
WAY FORWARD:
Discussion followed on viability and interest in concentrating on mobile phones rather than Tablets.
General feeling is that the preferred option are the Tablets. The 7” version of Tablet are popular and consideration should be given to them when purchasing replacement equipment, possibly 50/50.
It appears that most members are using the Club Tables rather than their own.
NS read out a letter from CS outlining another funding stream application. All agreed that it was a positive way forward. NS to liaise with CS. Act.Sec.
AOB
