Shop update		Taking advantage of the presence of Kath Davis who is both a CAT member and a shop helper, Karine gave the following updates about the shop: • Summer sale:went well and generated £3,000. • Shop intake:£8,076 were raised over a trading period of 6 months due to the national lockdown and shop closure of 3 weeks due to leak from the flat above. • Sales of books/dvds:Martin Jelves has sent the proceeds of these directly to AF. LW to give books of her own to MJ to resell.

	AOB	• Helpers:we have lost 6 volunteers from last year due to the Coronavirus pandemic as some volunteers are in the vulnerable category and have been advised by their doctors not to go back to the shop as helpers. However, we have gained 2 new volunteers: Andrew and Karen who are doing really well. Delia and Wyn have also come back. A lady called Natasha Mason contacted us on Facebook recently to offer her help at the shop. KD to contact her. • Get Together: a get-together took place on 15thJanuary for the shop helpers which was successful. Unfortunately, due to the closure of the Art House Café and the current governmental guidelines, we won’t be able to hold another similar event in January next year. Instead, it was decided that shop helpers should receive boxes of chocolates/biscuits for Christmas. KCW and TW to sort out. • Press Articleunfortunately the press article that was supposed to be organised last year did not take place for lack of time. • Stationery:we need to buy one calendar and one notebook for the shop. KCW to purchase. • Shop closure due to leak:a new water heater has been installed and we are waiting for the water damage to be repaired and for the ceiling to be replastered. We are also waiting for an electrician to visit the shop to check the circuit and ensure there’s no fault and issue a landlord safety certificate for upstairs and downstairs to be able to reopen the shop. ME to send CW details of an electrician she knows to speed up the process. • CJ mentioned that Waitrose were currently doing a special offer on Feliway products and offered to investigate these and purchase some for the fosterers. End of AGM at 20.30	KD KCW/TW KCW ME/CW CJ
