1. Welcome and apologies
Lydia opened the meeting, welcoming all new and existing members. Lydia apologised for some inconsistency in contacting attendees and circulating papers prior to the meeting explaining that the email list was not up to date and undertook to improve this for next time.
Apologies from: Linda Mills & Sophie King.
2. Minutes of the last meeting and matters arising
Last year’s minutes had been circulated prior to the meeting. Matters arising:
-
Accounts for 2021 were finalised, signed, sent to the Charities Commission and to attendees. Matthew commented that the accounting process had greatly improved with the appointment of a new bookkeeper.
-
Cost Allocation Model - this was discussed at the finance committee and it was decided that a useful, meaningful cost allocation to students could not be done. Note that a detailed cost breakdown is included in the accounts.
-
Safeguarding Document - Sarah had shared a model based one that had been developed in a nursery school that was applicable to students and vulnerable adults. Sarah was going to obtain her certificate via the nursery which does ongoing training. Xanthie & Sophie both have safeguarding certificates via Chestnut Grove school. It was viewed that CP is up to date & has sufficient measures in place but it will create its own model with the input of the 3 participants and set up a Workshops for other tutors and assistants.
-
Impact of smaller class sizes on finances - class sizes have returned to near normal, pre covid numbers and CP’s finances were back to pre covid status.
-
Risk Register - now available & circulated along with a Risk Management Document
The chair motioned to approve the Minutes of the last Meeting - approved unanimously by a show of hands.
3. Chair’s report (Lydia)
Lydia thanked all for their hard work, support and commitment. The year has been tough but the pottery had survived covid and shown great resilience. Some semblance of normality has returned but we still needed to be cautious re Covid this autumn/winter. Another significant donation received from the John Murray Trust. This is thanks very much to Naine, our Administrator and the people she gathers around her. She has an amazing network of skilled and talented people who maintain the building and help her look after the business, but above all this year she has had endless praise for the tutors and technicians, for their dedication and resourcefulness, rising to the challenge of reworking CP post-Covid. Congratulations to all the team for providing a stable, safe and supportive environment for all.
Naine added that the demand for our courses still far exceeds our capacity, so a big thank you to all those who have worked so hard to keep Clapham Pottery going - and indeed thriving this year.
4. Treasurer’s report 2021/2022 (Matthew)
Matthew ran through the draft figures for the year ending August 2022. Nothing outstanding, so no major changes. Will circulate once finalised. Approval of the final accounts will again be done by the finance committee.
The overview is that CP is in a stable position:
-
Over the last 2 years there have been different levels of revenue due to covid and we received government support, but this year we returned to our pre-covid finances.
-
We run CP roughly on £30K per term revenue.
-
The vast majority of costs per term (£23K to £25K) relate to staffing costs – which have not changed much over the years. Remaining costs (£15K) are utilities, rates and materials. Annual costs total about £90K.
-
Revenues this year were £86k + donations amounting to £140K. This includes a large donation of £30K which enables us to provide funded classes. Lucky to have such supporters.
-
CP in good health with surplus cash (£20K this year). We always like to have £30K for reserves for any major building works etc. (contingency).
-
Can’t compare 2022 with last year due to Covid, but we are still in a strong position
-
Energy Costs: – to offset energy cost increases, the “pound for pound” clay charge might be increased so students think carefully about what they fire. This should reduce kiln usage.
-
Need a few repairs to equipment and building but nothing out the ordinary.
-
Quite dull on Finance and that’s how we like it.
-
Question arose: What is the forecast cost for energy and how will it impact the coming year? – No particular forecast, last year total spend was £3k, so if it were to double we are within budget…. Not ideal but most of this is kiln costs, not heating/lights. Pound for pound does match firing costs so if we double it, then it wouldn’t be too bad. Rachel & Naine were monitoring energy costs. Fees had been increased to cope with cost increases.
-
Question Arose: Have staff had a pay rise due to cost of living increases? Tutor rates were increased 2 terms ago.
-
Action: Finalise 2022 Accounts. Review wages again in January.
Workers’ reports
Co-ordinator’s Report by Naine
-
Pound for pound clay charge is being reviewed, as our costs are going up constantly. Electricity was £3K in 2021 and we raised £2400 in this manner, but it may need to go up to £4 per pound.
-
Art Therapy Group has been re-instated, thanks to a 3-year grant.
-
All Adult classes are full. Sunday workshops are always full. Both classes are quite cheap for participants. Heathbrook relationship has been re-established for after-school classes. Morning classes have 4/5 elderly attendees.
-
5 new assistant tutors are all doing well. Tutors: couldn’t do it without you - thank you.
-
Raku event was held in September and very much enjoyed.
-
All our appliances needed to be replaced over the summer + new sink and taps.
-
All 3 kilns were repaired for the new term.
Children’s classes by Sarah W
-
Students came back enthusiastically.
-
8 students from Heathbrook. Attendance 100% and very eager.
-
Some students stay on and mentor other students, lovely to see them blossom and lead other children. A number of Duke of Ed’s – they do bronze for 1 term and then elect to do the Silver award, sometimes they stay on voluntarily to do a new skills qualification.
Tuesday and Wednesday adult evening classes by Suley
-
Tues/Wed classes of 6 students during covid. Last year back up to 11, now back to 13.
-
Impact of covid was that we lost a few long term students, but gained a few new students.
-
Suley thanked the new assistants, who were doing well.
-
Consensus was to continue wearing masks - worn by everyone.
Wednesday day and Thursday adult evening classes by Rosa
-
We have found that these students prefer not to wear masks on the whole, as they understand better and it creates a more relaxed atmosphere, but some keep them on.
-
• 3 full classes. All students work hard and are cheerful.
-
RE: clay costs, this was explained and students are trusted to pay. Most of them round it up and pay by card.
-
Holly and Liba work with me. We work nicely. Both proactive. Don’t treat them as assistants but as colleagues
Family Workshops, Seniors and Families with children with special needs classes by Rachel
-
Last September, we had mask wearing through to Jan term. In April, gave them an option to wear masks but only 1 student continues to wear a mask, With the Seniors, all over 80, one of whom, Iris, is blind. It’s challenging but great. Lauren has a special connection with Iris.
-
Second Saturday Group: families with special needs children and their siblings – very enthusiastic and jolly class.
-
Naine thanked Rachel for doing a great job managing subscriptions and attendance.
Art Therapy class by Verity
-
Classes resumed after Easter. It took a lot of time to set up. Students are referred to me, I liaise with the coordinator, meet them, before they join the class in person.
-
It has been really nice to work with Rosa again. People commented that we work well together and complement each other.
-
Feedback from students has been positive. Their week goes by slowly, but in the group, time flies. They love working with clay. They are really expressive & opening up. It builds confidence. Really nice group.
-
There is an element of risk, due to the experience these women have had. The students are mainly refugees & have been trafficked, so suffer from high levels of trauma and associated issues. Their knowledge of English varies.
-
As a group, we have chosen not to wear masks.
Mother & Child Group - Naine added:
- CP is looking for funding to reintroduce the mother and child group in January, mainly, for families from Ukraine.
Question: On a practical level, does the safeguarding model fit appropriately with this class?
- Verity responded that as she is a qualified art therapist and has her own professional indemnity insurance which will cover any issues.
Assistant Tutors were asked if they would like to comment:
-
Xanthe: Loves working with Rachel & Rosa
-
Holly: Loves working with everyone.
-
Sarah C: Loves it too. Learning a lot from both Tutors and students. It works both ways.
Liba: Has worked with Rosa a long time & loves it. Loves working with everyone.
6. Nomination and election of officers and committee members The following
were elected unopposed:
Officers;
Chair: Lydia Latham, nominated by Naine, seconded by Sarah Company Secretary: Naomi, nominated by Tarka & Lydia. Treasurer: Matthew Woodeson, nominated by Suley, seconded by Rosa Minutes secretary: Tarka, nominated by Naomi, seconded by Aideen
Committee Members
Tarka Cowlam: nominated by Lydia, seconded by Rosemary Linda Mills: nominated by Sarah, seconded by Naomi Rosemary Wilkinson: nominated by Naine, seconded by Michelle Tom Crame: nominated by Ben, seconded by Rosa Ben Dickey: nominated by Tom, seconded by Aideen. Aideen Manson: nominated by Lydia, seconded by Tarka. How are you
Action: Check appointment procedure is appropriate, as per the CP’s governing documents & legal requirements.
7. Health and Safety (Tom)
A proposed Risk Register and Risk Management document had been circulated prior to the meeting:
-
Tom explained the importance of a Risk Register. The example focuses on corporate functioning, safeguarding and possible impact on our reputation.
-
CP needs to identify as many risks as possible. It’s an opportunity to create good governance and can be shared with relevant authorities, it demonstrates good practice for the health of the organisation.
-
Currently it’s a draft document with 10 risks identified, but there might be others. It might be updated a couple of times a year,
-
Also circulated is a Risk Management document, to explain how it works. In this document finance takes precedence, but there are a range of risks outlined which apply to wide range of operations. It should be useful and give an overview of risks, mitigation and time frames, and a way of monitoring the company as a whole.
-
It was agreed that the best way to take forward, would be to circulate both on the Co-ordinator and Tutors WhatsApp group as they might be the best people to take it forward. They will understand on a day to day risks.
-
When it has been set-up, it should be reviewed from time to time and we might need to change things but once we get it in place.
-
In terms of maintaining it, that should be the board of trustees, with Chair and coordinator, it might just need a 6 monthly check in.
Next steps: Naine to request tutor input, Lydia & Mathew offered to help finalise the first draft.
8. Any other business
-
Christmas drinks – Naine to consider possibilities.
-
Student Exhibition: Friday 2[nd] December – 5-7.30pm at CP with all students displaying one piece, with hand written card explanation.
-
End of term: Mulled wine and mince pies for adults, sweets for kids.
-
Point of order regarding the re-electing of committee members/trustees: Can noncommittee members nominate trustees? Action: Tarka/Lydia to look into this.
