Main points of Executive meeting: 14th May 2025

Main Points

  • Appointment of Executive
    • Amy Cameron appointed President
    • Jacintha Bowe appointed Vice-Preseident
    • Barbara Cookson appointed Treasurer
    • Dorothy Dodo appointed Vice-Treasurer with a focus on Fundraising
    • Margaret Clark appointed Safeguarding Lead
    • There are other appointments to be made. 
  • In Person Meeting – Saturday 14th June
    • The importance of meeting in-person was raised, however the feeling was that there is nothing of substance to present or discuss at this time. 
    • Instead the part of the DL event focused on accompaniment (Saturday 11th October) will be expanded to include the wider membership.
    • Members who want to attend on the Friday as well as the Saturday may have to self-fund accommodation.
    • Alternatively a separate event could run on the Friday night if this proves to be a popular option for members.
  • Publicity membership drive
    • A social / communications plan and publicity drive was proposed as a starting point.
    • Ideally this plan needs specific oversight from somebody on the executive team or somebody needs to be drafted into the executive to fill this role.
    • Contacting The Tablet and The Herald is a priority.
