  1. Jon N welcomed everyone to the meeting.

  2. No apologies.

  3. Minutes of the last AGM were discussed. Proposed by Jenny Bhambri-Lyte and seconded by Anne Baines. The minutes were accepted as a true and accurate record.

  4. Governance

  5. a. The model constitution from Policy, Organisation and Rules was adopted: proposed by Jon Norman and seconded by Jennifer Bhambri-Lyte.

  6. b. Group’s financial year is 1[st] April to 31[st] March.

  7. c. The number of members to be elected to the Trustee Board was four. Proposed by Jon Norman and seconded by Gabriel McEvoy.

  8. d. A quorum of eight for scout council meetings was proposed by Jon Norman and seconded by Gabriel McEvoy. For trustee meetings, the quorum was proposed by Jon Normand and seconded as Gabriel McEvoy, as three.

  9. Review of previous year

  10. a. There are over 200 children in the group; numbers have gone up after pandemic. We continue to do lots of nights away and the leadership team has increased in the scout section. Basic training has been completed and first aid. Fundraising for the trip to Switzerland expedition continues and plans for the 90[th] anniversary are in progress.

  11. b. No current treasurer; Anne being assisted by Tony Rees (district treasurer). Historical problem is being resolved. Moving away from our previous spreadsheet on to OSM accountancy tool. Tony is happy with the accounts so far. Question mark over OSM; is it gross or net? No official treasurer needed, but we need an independent ‘auditor’ to sign off the accounts. We will agree an approach and then return to approve the accounts, formally, at an EGM at a future date. Accounts need to be submitted by December (to be checked). Anne went through current state of play: balance brought forward: £54,506. Income: £65,577, expenditure £77,608, closing balance £47,475. Venue maintenance - £13,00 for the back, £8,000 for internal fire doors, also paid 50% so far, for external fire doors, £6,500? Had to pay for a music licence for this year and last year. Charity donations: if we’re fundraising for another charity (e.g. Cots for Tots all money we gathered, has been paid over), this has to be clear on the accounts. Change of signatories to the group bank account, removing John Maul, Nigel Abrahams and Valerie Abrahams, owing to no longer being involved in group. Making Jenny Bhambri-Lyte and Jon Norman, full signatories and adding Daniel Conroy as new full signatory, via a resolution, signed by Anne.

Auditor to be sought. Accounts to be approved at a future EGM.

Accounts to be submitted by December.
