Lydia thanked all for their hard work, support and commitment. The Risk Register was explained to the meeting, There is a commitment to review it on a regular basis. The Chair will convene a Board meeting in November to do this. One of the issues raised was compliance/governance. After a wide search a legal firm, with knowledge of Charity law, whose fees are not too high, has been identified. To keep costs low, a working group will be set up. Update to be given at the November meeting. 

**Action -** Chair to convene Board meeting in November 




## 4. **Treasurer’s report 2021/2022** (Kat) 

As the new treasurer, Kat introduced herself & explained how the accounts were in good shape, thanks to Matthew’s attention and how she would be doing things, slightly differently. Kat presented some figures; average income from an adult students is £492/yr and from a child is £275/yr. CP gave 923 hours of free tuition to disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. There was a discussion on fund raising ideas; donating pots for sale, approaching the student body for support again and ways to maximise the use of the building. Also about costs, such as an energy audit on the building. 

Approval of the final 22/23 accounts will again be done by the finance committee. The overview is that CP is in a stable position. However, there could be a small deficit which needs to be considered. 

- **Action:** Finance Committee to finalise 2023 Accounts and look at alternative means to generate income. 


## **5. Workers’ reports** 

Co-ordinator’s Report by Naine - previously circulated. In summary: 

- Covid still not over - need to be aware. 

- £2 pound for pound clay charge is being reviewed against clay costs. 

- Utilitiy contracts were successfully reviewed by Rachel but electricity costs had doubled 

- Art Therapy Group going well. 

- The mothers and daughters was run by Lauren and Sarah Copard - who have both left 

- All Adult classes are full. Sunday workshops are always full. Both classes are still quite cheap for participants compared to other local classes. 

- Heathbrook relationship for after-school classes still going strong. 

- Spire: Homeless charity - was well loved. 

- Duke of Edinburgh - done by Sarah, still hard work but good for the kids. 

- On-line booking system is being introduced 

- Acknowledged the Tutors: couldn’t do it without you - thank you 

## Children’s Classes by Sarah 

- Students came back enthusiastically. 

- Children’s parties are going well. 

- Progression system from hand building to glazing to throwing had been devised for the different age groups. 

- Some students stay on and mentor other students, lovely to see them blossom and lead other children. Some have gone onto study art at university 

- A number of children volunteer to help set up and pack up. 

## Tuesday and Wednesday adult evening classes by Suley 

- Clay register is making it easier. 

- Attendance good except for the summer term, were attendance drops off. Also challenging with the heat and pots drying out. 

- Suggested a new system to rehydrate pots. 



**Action:** A tutor’s meeting will be set up to review this. As well as incidents of students' work going missing. 

Wednesday day and Thursday adult evening classes by Rosa and Art therapy classes with Verity 

- Monday classes remain consistent - but Wed/Thurs a lot more changes therefore students are more needy. 

- Good to have change, as it changes the atmosphere. 

- Variety commented on how the students appreciated the good relationship, she and Rosa had. 

- Throwing Sunday: great - but need to review costs and perhaps charge extra for actually firing the pots or make it a practice session only with no facility to take home pots. 

- Extending the pottery sale of uncollected/unwanted pots was discussed 

Family Workshops, Seniors and Families with children with special needs classes by Rachel 

- With the Seniors, all over 80, one of whom is blind, it’s challenging but great. Lauren has a special connection with Iris who is now 91. She is collected by Colin and returns on the train. 

- Children’s classes on Tuesday - all good. 

- Thursday teens/Sat kids/Thursday evening/Family workshop - all full and busy. 

- End of summer term, special needs with siblings - this tailed off but will come back in the future - not this term. 

## Art Therapy class by Verity 

- Continue to work with asylum seekers. Last year worked very well. They loved it. Great atmosphere. Very supportive. Came out of their shells by the end of the year, they made wonderful progress. They value what the classes provide. 

- Feedback from students has been positive. Their week goes by slowly, but in the group, time flies. They love working with clay. 

- The students are mainly refugees or have been trafficked, so suffer from high levels of trauma and associated issues. Their knowledge of English varies. 

- Women’s age range 20-60, from a wide variety of countries. 

- Very good relationship with clay - More often than not, they create something with food in mind. 

- The women appreciate the group and one woman, although of little means, and in difficulty, came at the end of term with a delicious feast (H&S aside), it was a great gesture of thanks and appreciation and a wonderful moment. 

Raku Day - Michael reminded the meeting that the Raku event was held in September and very much enjoyed. The hard, arduous work of the tutors and assistants is greatly acknowledged. 

**Action:** Naine to organise a workers' meeting (see above) 




## 6. **Nomination and election of officers and committee members** 

Note that this mechanism is subject to the legal/governance review - The following were elected unopposed: 

Trustees: nominated by Naine, seconded by Tarka 

Lydia Latham (Chair), Kat Major (Treasurer), Tarka Cowlam (minutes), Rosemary Wilkinson, Ben Dickey, Tom Crane, Aideen Manson, Naomi Phillips, Michele Reilly, Aideen Manson and Michael Turner, 

## Finance Committee Members 

Kat Major, Naine Woodrow, Lydia Latham, Rosemary Williamson, Michele Reilly Nominated by Naine, seconded by Tarka. 


## 7. **Health & Safety Report** 

The H&S handout given to students had been updated. Tom: The H&S report needs updating, this is in progress. 

## 8. **Any other business** 

- Ben - offered to make a film of the pottery; Naine suggested this would be too complicated. 

- Ben: Need to remind students of H&S - required in the Risk Assessment at the beginning of term - should include reminders such as: clean things thoroughly and the reason for it: particularly in summer term (such as wearing flip-flops), safety is a personal responsibility for you and those around you. 

- It was suggested that Naine does a meet and greet session with all classes to brief them on charitable activities and fund raising. 

Meeting closed.
