Chairman’s Report
Attendance: Attendances were down significantly at 494 for the year (ending August) compared to 581 and 584 for the previous two years. However there were 60 attendances this September compared to 37 in September 2023.
New registrations held up at 92 compared to 90 and 77 in previous years.
Maurice pointed out that numbers (and finance) for the previous year would have been flattered by 50plus people attending the Smartphone seminars.
David J has done a number of home visits and word may spread if we have the capacity and willing volunteers to do that.
We obtained a grant of £600 from William Williams (Windows 12 computers), and £100 for working with housing association at Marhull. Maurice noted that there were more Apple and Android related visits (in total) than Windows. David J Agreed to checkout our current apple tablets and MAC to start with.
My Microsoft 365 licence is shared with the snclc4@hotmail.com account on all Learner PCs. It allows five installations and is currently on 3 PCS. David J suggested labelling the PCs with Windows/Office versions.
The phone/broadband situation late last year was somewhat traumatic. What appeared to be BT switching us to digital turned out to a new “Local Business Unit” – BT flagged but not owned by BT selling cloud phone services and initially without proper links to BT resulting in a disconnect of phone and broadband and no financial gain over the old arrangement of paying for the phone via the Exchange. We do have the advantage of two phones with separate lines and switch through to me out of hours. We could probably make more use its facilities (E.g. a Hotline).
Contactless payment now requires sum up app on mobile phone. Could all volunteers please install the Sumup app.
(Now requires verification to registered phone (Drystans))
We are no longer members of Sturbiz, we are not in any real sense a business and there was an annual subscription.
Treasurers Report
Overall loss of £200 for the year, £800 if unspent grant is considered. £300 was ‘invested’ in paying Royal Mail to deliver our leaflets to two DT11 Postcode districts.
Queries for Richard: 1. What is “Cloud” – appears this year but not last. 2. Have we contributed to Exchange insurance recently? 3. Why £115 stock for shop (purchases come directly out of jar)?
Encourage use of the contactless pay (people tend to leave more when it not ‘real’ money!). Discussion suggested better signage to donations and rewording of “Free help”. David J raised
donations for home visits, agreed to leave envelopes (printed with Learning Centre and note of visit added) to drop off rather than accepting cash on the visit.)
Thanks to Richard for his work for the year and Maurice as the auditor.
