Present; A Masters, M Edmonds, A Rundle ,D Stafford.
Apologies; C Povey
Minutes of 2022/3 meeting were read and signed as a true copy.
Matters arising from minutes; Correction-Tony Rundle was not actually a Trustee until May of 2023. The minutes should read, Tony Rundle was invited to join the Board of Trustees.
Trustee report; The Club has grown and and expanded it's offering once again and is operating with due regard to the Governing Document guidelines. Financial position is strong and The Club should be congratulated for maintaining a surplus withsuch challenging cost of living experieneces. The surplus which include a 'ring fenced' safety deposit equivalent to 12 months rent, is considered too high. As a charitable organisation we should find ways to engage the surplus for the benefit of members and our community. Trustees suggest a sum be set aside, up to £5k, for the express use by children unable to beome a member due to financial hardship. It is not easy to identify these children. Martina and Dena will contact our local primary and secondary schools for their suggested individuals. The Club already has a small sum set aside for current members in financial hardship.
The re-modelling of The Club has been a great sucess, so much extra useable space is now in constant use by classes, the work was largely carried out during the summer closure and The Trustees would like to thank contractors and volunteers for the superb result.
Squad classes are in external competitions regularly and continue to enjoy success as well as achieving personal goals, boys squad is intending to attend a competition before summer 2024 which will be a great development. Club Champs is scheduled once again and is eagerly anticipated by the entire club. The Club held a wonderful Christmas party which was very busy! The Gymclusive class had a surprise visit from Father Christmas who made a big impact. There is a suggestion to include more members from non squad classes in a low key competition with another club. The Trustees encourage this.
Questions were asked about risk assessment and compliance documents, Trustees are aware they are in place but are concerned they do not appear to be available for public scrutiny. Similarly, HR documents are incomplete, contracts must be signed within a defined period to protect The Club and employee. Trustees suggest 7 days is sufficient from publication to signature, employment offers should be withdrawn if there are undue delays for new employees and disciplinary actions engaged for current employees. The Management Committee should use their discretion whilst maintaining integrity of employment conditions. Trustees encourage The Club to define roles and responsibilities to ensure coaches and volunteers understand their job role, everyone should be well advised where their responsibilities begin and end. The Governing Document is considered to be outdated by events since it's inception. Tony will investigate a schedule of ammendments and report back.
The Club should once again be congratulated on another positive year ethically, financially, pastorally and sport specifically. Sound management and quality coaching as well as ensuring safety, wellbeing and fun will continue to be important.
The meeting closed at 2120hrs
