Purpose

At the request of the Trustees and the membership meeting (held at 10:30am 04/01/2024) to inaugurate the Management Committee of six members (as outlined above) and to appoint its principal officers.

Outcomes

1. After a brief discussion and skills audit within the group, it was decided that the following officers be appointed:

Lance Garrard Chair
Martin Megson Treasurer
Bob McGovern Secretary

2. It was decided to confirm the roles of the remaining members of the committee in the next meeting when the full range of responsibilities are better understood. In general terms there will be a need for oversight of:

• Health and safety
• Procurement
• Maintenance of equipment
• Member wellbeing and support

3. It was decided that it would be preferable to arrange a handover meeting with the Trustees as soon as possible. Knowing that Stuart and Elaine have pressing commitments, two dates have been suggested:

• Thursday, 18 January at noon, or
• Tuesday, 23 January at noon.

Bob McGovern will liaise with then trustees and confirm the date.
