**AGM 16th NOVEMBER 2023 at 4 CHURCH ST** **PRESENT** Kevin & Jan Brady, Nic & Andrew Ellis, Jeannete Pratt, Sandra Budd, Cheryl Evans. **APOLOGIES** Jayne Isaac, Sandra John. Chair was unable to attend so Treasurer took Chair upon a vote. Kevin welcomed the people attending. Last year minutes propsosed by J Pratt seconded by A Ellis. ## **TREASURER REPORT** Kevin explained we had more expenditure last year than income coming in. This is worrying as we have to keep dipping into our reserve. However, everything is increasing in price. Shop sales down slightly but holding its own. Our Bookstall lost money this year but a lot of that was due to the electricity costs. Our total income was 65798 Expenditure 74425 with excess expenditure -8627. Current account was 5906 Deposit account 57250 at the end of our financial year. ## **SECRETARY REPORT** Apart from shop sales: 2000 from Animal Friends, 5000 HobHouse Trust, 3000 ADCH, 500 Maesteg Council, 500 Home Bargains in memory of Roy the cat, we looked after him with palliative care, 391 gold sold by Louise, 432 go fund me from Alison Mawby for helping her find her cat, 365 NRW, 438 Collection boxes, 2608 Recycling, 230 Pet Plan Commission plus standing orders. Insurance for buildings up to date. We helped 20 people with vet bills, neutered 45 cats. Consult fee now £45. Book stall electricity should now be sorted as we have a new contract. Last year cost £1488 compared to shop £909. Jan Brady homed 50 kittens and 16 mums. We helped to get 1 cat out to Spain as his owner had emigrated but lost the cat before they went. We also work closely with Lost & Found having access to the databases we have reunited many dogs and cats. Kier not renewing contract, letter from Kier left in shop for new contractor. We now have to have a digital phone so Broadband is being put into the shop. Jan thanked the ladies for working in the shop, without them we would not have a rescue. ## **CATTERY REPORT** 42 cats rehomed, more people this year wanting to surrender cats. We have helped Social Services ( homeless and abusive behaviour ) we looked after these cats but no cost to MAWS. Quiet year for rehoming, everywhere is full. 2 more of our cats appeared in calendars one in PDSA the other in CATCAT. To ease costs on charity it was suggested to reduce numbers if possible to 30, but we will accommodate emergencies. ## **SHOP REPORT** Ticking over nicely, nothing to report. Front of shop repaired and painted. ## **BOOK STALL** Worrying that the book stall has lost money this year, despite putting up prices of books. Footfall has dropped since the café has closed next door. ## **A.O.B** J Pratt asked if we could have a chip and pin machine as many people not having cash. Kevin and Jan will look into this via Nat West. **ELECTION OF OFFICERS** As only a small number in attendance it was decided for all the officers to remain.
