3.

Administrative Matters

 

2.1   Dinner dance:  It was now considered too late to include in this years programme.  Will be arranged for the 2009 programme.

2.2  Midsummer Music:  This rally has been removed from the 2008 rally programme.

2.3.  50th Anniversary:  As the Vice-Chairman was not present no report was available.  It was agreed that, ideally, the venue should be Market Rasen Racecourse.  This matter will be ongoing.

2.4. Additional signatories for bank account is still ongoing due to mutual availability.

2.5.  The training weekend has been cancelled due to unforeseen administrative problems.

2.6.  Bouncy castle is still ongoing and will be discussed further at the January meeting.

2.7.  Racking for the storage and trailer is still under investigation.

Following a complaint to the Caravan Club about having to buy a Rally book we have been informed that purchasing a book is a centre matter.  However all Centres are required to inform all members of all rallies.  The Internet or Club magazine is not an option.   Secondly the treasurer report that all the cheques received made the £2 charge an administrative burden. 

It was agreed that in future all members would receive a list of rallies (date and venue) and notification of the AGM.  However a rally Book must be requested.  A tear of slip will be available in the rally book.  There will be no Charge and no £2 voucher.

Financial Statement

 

The Treasure reported that he now had a greater understanding of the account.  His thanks to Sandra Purdy for her assistance.

There was a general discussion about the accounts and the Profit / Loss for each rally. N All in all we had a better year than last year.

A new form for committee to claim expenses were produced which require the Chairman to authorise all expenses.

Concern was raised about the Laptop used for the centre accounts.  This is to be investigated to both hardware and software to ensure suitability.

A weekend will be required to make a list of all fixed assets of the Centre and to tidy the storage.

The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to Mick Williamson for the speed in which he had embraced the accounts.  Carried.

Inter Centres

 

 

The chairman and Secretary attended the Inter centres committee meeting held by the Derby centre.

The running order of events that was trailed by the Lincolnshire Centre will be adopted and included in the constitution.

A request to borrow Lincolnshire Centre Volley ball nets was made and agreed.

Rally matters

 

 

!2 4Bs have been received and agreed.

The health and Safety Site evaluation Form was reviewed and some changes made.

The proof reading of the Rally book has highlighted considerable errors.  This along with the change in policy for requesting rally books means a substantial rework.

It is hoped that this will not delay the dispatch to members.

All Rally marshals are to be reminded that liaison forms need to be with the Rally secretary by the end of September.

Communication

 

There has been an increase in the hits on the Web site.

There has been no Newschat produced as there have been no articles submitted.

Chairman’s Chat on the web to be written quarterly or if matters dictate.

Marquee

 

Due to adverse weather conditions at the Christmas Market rally the Marquees were damaged.  It is possible to make one out of what remains.

Due to the requirement for marquees replacement will now be needed.  Three options where considered.

Hire; expensive in the long term

Buy something similar to existing cost £2000

Buy something similar and easier to build £2500

It was decided to go for the last option but we must go and look at them at the supplier.

The requirement for electrics within the marquee is to be decided post purchase.

This is on going with only two still to be written.  When complete will be included on the web site.

Health and Safety

It was agreed that whilst members attend rallies at their own risk we have a duty of care for all.  To this end we must ensure, as far as possible, that rallies are as safe as is practicable.

To meet this we must ensure that:

  • Water supplies are as hygienic as possible
  • All gas and electrical equipment have certificates of serviceability.
  • The procedures for using equipment are reviewed and documented.

Whilst this appears cumbersome and bureaucratic it is in everyone’s interest to ensure that rallies are a safe place.

AOB

It was noted that we require more committee members from a wider spectrum of the centre.  When taking Flag please make an appeal.
