Minutes of Last Meeting & Matters arising Agreed. All signatures for the new bank account have been sorted. 5. Treasurer’s Report The Spring Fair made £3894including a few assumptions on the match funding front. Last year was slightly better – making £4400. The top stalls were as follows: Raffle £481 BBQ £375 Childrens Gallery £339 Chocolate tombola £278 Bottle tombola £267 Entry £203 Plants £192 Outside Vendors £130 Cakes £130 Gift tombola £128 2nd hand clothes £107 The Grand Draw made £1035 profit. Thanks to Caroline for helping with the counting The balance in the currant account is £5950, and there is £8810 in the uniform account. 6. Past events 6.1 Grand Draw Profits were substantially down this year. Thanks to Claire Todd for doing all the hard work along with the boards. Next year we’ll aim to run this as a Christmas event instead of an Easter one – as we used to. 6.2 Spring Fair 25/4 11:00 – 15:00 Tony (aged veteran) noted that as far as he was concerned this had been the best fair yet. The number of helpers for Friday night was unprecedented, and there were an awful lot of new faces helping on Saturday as well. There was a bit of an issue with the banners that had to be taken down at the request of the council before the event, but Mr Griffiths sorted this out. This may, however, be an issue for the uniform shop in the future. I don’t wish to single anyone out for thanks – there were an awful lot of people who helped, and it wouldn’t have been the same without their help collectively. Some notes ... Krispy Kreme sold out. BBQ left overs were taken back by the butcher. All the drinks sold out (apart from the Pimms!). Ran out of cups for the tea and coffee. All was fine with the stalls in thr hall.A few quid (£44) made on the inflatables – but they kept people at the event. The crockery smash just didn’t quite work where it was – so we will be unlikely to run it again next year. The raffle was as spectacular as ever 7. Future Events The new parents cheese and wine (the one with no cheese) will be 10/9/2009. The craft Fair will run 14/11/2009. This will be preceded by a 70’s disco (Beth is running this one) in October and succeeded by a quiz done by Daniel nearer Christmas at which the Grand draw will take place. Clement Danes did their version of the three peaks challenge which raised ridiculous amounts of money – Karen wants to mastermind something similar. The Christmas pudding order will be increased this year substantially, and at the Christmas Fair we will be selling both the puds and our own Christmas cards. “love cakes” was recommended as a supplier of cupcakes for the event. More events will be discussed at the next meeting 8. Uniform Shop The shop was open this evening so no one was present at the meeting to report. 9. Ricky Reporter Vouchers. Big Shop dates. Thanks to the invigilators. (Diane Roberts Brian Dorling and Pete Williamson) Thanks to Spring Fair helpers - £4k raised 6th form library. Swimming.. 10. Any Other Business Karen Willis raised the subject of the swimming. It was agreed that Karen would talk to Mr LeGrange regarding the times. Funding was agreed for Karen’s son to become a lifeguard. The whole thing will be relaunched with a blaze of publicity next autumn. 11. Date of Next Meeting 23/6/2009 in the library at 7:30pm. |
