## SAVE   OUR   STRAYS 

## Trustee Meeting 

## Minutes of meeting held on Friday August 18[th] 2023 at 12.00pm. 

Present :  Margaret Young, Peter White, Caroline Spencer, (Peter Roberts Treasurer). 

Apologies : Mike Booth 

S.O.S. future / New Kennels : M.Y. discussed the possible options that SOS may wish to consider moving forward after notice was given for the remaining 2 dogs which had to leave Old Park Farm. 

- To do nothing – but to continue to support current dogs in our care 

- Continue to fundraise in order to buy a property 

- Rent a suitable property 

The trustees discussed the possibility of registering an interest with a range of estates to see if there were any available either now or in the future, within a budget of £24-28K per year. Once we are successful, then SOS would launch an appeal. Following on from our recent ‘kennel appeal’ we have approximately £800 collected so far. 

M.Y. also spoke about there could be possibly 2 interested parties who were willing to live at the property to look after the dogs in our care. 

The trustees decided that an official email / letter will be sent to the following: 

Mulgrave Estates/ Egton Est. / Skelton Est. / Zetland Est. There is currently a property with Mulgrave Estates up for rent so it is planned that we register an interest in this with P.R./M.Y to go ahead and view. 

New committee members: Trustees discussed to possibility of inviting members onto the committee in order to help with fundraising ideas etc. 

It was proposed that we hold a dog show over in Whitby to help support SOS as we currently don’t have one. 

The accounts have been audited by Deborah Fletcher. 

Any other business: 

It was agreed that our AGM will take place on Sunday 13[th] September 

2023 .
