Chairman’s Report
Bill read through his report, which was well received by all present .Click here for the text.. Bill gave specific thanks to Ronnie McLaskey for her substantial contribution over the years; also thanks to other former Committee members who left during the last year – Carole Bannister, John and Linda Hodgson, all of whom would be warmly welcomed to attend or assist at future carnivals. It was suggested a hard copy be given to both Aussie marquees and Nigel & Louisa in the Dolphin due to the expressed thanks. Also a hardcopy to go in the Town Hall and Bill to send e-copy to Allan Webb for the Grampound site. Action Bill

 

Treasurer’s Report
Joe supplied thorough, clear and independently agreed balance sheets for income and outgoings for the previous 12 months. He thanked all people making donations and stressed the importance of ongoing fund raising to future-proof any new expenses (eg difficulties with insurance). Bill thanked Joe for his excellent service and accounts.

Joe suggested the £200 garage rent be withheld due to disrepair, namely the unsafe condition of the garage door which has been reported to the landlord without any remedial repair being forthcoming. Joe suggested he obtain quotes for a new door/repair of existing if possible, arrange as required and then send any remaining surplus of the withheld £200 to the landlord. This was unanimously agreed. Action Joe

The submitted accounts were nominated and seconded for adoption as an accurate record.
