First AGM
Added on 19 June 2017
Our first AGM was held today at The Wonston Arms and was attended by all four members of the Project Committee. They are Rob Parker (Chairman) representing Sutton Scotney, Tom Coleman (Secretary) representing Norton, Matt Todd (Treasurer) representing Wonston and Michael Collett (Fundraiser) representing Stoke Charity and Hunton.
Whilst we have sufficient funds for the maintenance of our equipment for the foreseeable future, concern was raised that, with inflation running at 2.4% pa, we are effectively losing money on our funds in the current account. There are problems investing community funds and so it was agreed that we would run small community events each year to raise just sufficient to compensate for the inflation.
Other topics discussed were our relationship with the Community Heartbeat Trust, the future of our website and ways of continuing communication with our community.
Matt requested a further Awareness Training Session to be held in The Wonston Arms in the autumn and this will be arranged.
The three principal committee members offered themselves for re-election and were duly elected for the coming year.
In summary our Project has, thanks to our amazing community, been an outstanding success and is now complete apart from weekly checks and periodic maintenance of the equipment. Consumables are programmed for replacement according to the manufacturers' schedules. We now just need to look after our equipment and one another!
