Minutes of the last AGM held on the 10[th] May 2023:

These were agreed and in the absence of the Chairman RS were signed by the Treasurer GG.

Chairman’s report:

As the current chairman had expressed his wish to stand down at the AGM, GG gave a brief summary of what had been happening in the last year. At the end of March 2023 we were in credit but we had an in-year deficit of £8,909. It had been a challenging year and the business had not fully recovered from the impact of Covid and lockdown periods. We had a fall in the number of weddings and parties and usual activities were not held as people still seemed reluctant to socialise. However, grateful thanks must be given to all the staff who have continued to work hard throughout that year and even though there had been a number of staff changes this had not affected the running of the Castle. Thanks were expressed as well to the Volunteers in the Castle and gardens. Without their help we could not manage. Finally grateful thanks were expressed to all the Trustees, especially to those retiring at the AGM, for all their hours of work dealing with the running of the Castle business.

Financial Report for the year ending March 2023: (Copy attached)

It was proposed by MN, seconded by LA and agreed to accept the financial statement for the year ending March 2023.

Appointment of Independent Examiners for the Trust for the year 2024/2025:

It was proposed by CP and seconded by MN and agreed by all that the Independent Examiners for the year ahead be ION Partners Accountants, Herne Bay.

Current accountants MMP will examine the accounts for 2023/2024.

Retirement of trustees:

All trustees retire at the AGM . RS had given his resignation as Chairman and a member of the Board and J.Harrison and J.Law and also decided to stand down as Trustees at the AGM.
