The vast majority of the assessments have been arranged through our own training, however other providers we have worked with including Derby Council, Futures Greenscapes, Bowrings, Anyella Chicks, Cullingworths Chickens Ltd, National Trust, QTS, The Wildlife Trust and Planterior Landscapes 

Mrs Scott has continued to be invaluable for her advice and support as Chairman of the Committee and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you! It was a huge disappointment that Derbyshire Landskills could not attend Brailsford Ploughing Match. Fingers crossed we will be able to return in 2023 

Meetings Attended:- 

4 July 2022 – Observation undertaken with Paul Drake 

8 October 2022 – National Ploughing Championships – Lantra Stand 

11 October 2022 – Business Review with Account Manager at Lantra 

Meetings Planned:- 

27 October 2022 – Observation planned with Simon Dore 

8 November 2022 – Observation planned with Matt Gingell 16 November 2022 – NPTC Wakefield – Landbased Networking, Update & Tour of Facilities 

Difficulties have still been experienced with securing Assessor and Instructors.  I now try where possible to plan training dates well ahead with at least 3 months’ notice.  This works better for the Pesticide and Chainsaw training.  It was unfortunate though that we had a full 5 days of pesticide training commencing with 12 on a PA1 Course on Monday 19 September which then went on to PA2 and PA6 training with assessments the following week.  When Monday 19 was declared a Bank Holiday this threw all of the plans into chaos! 

All Assessors have up to date copies of the Centre Policies and CVs are requested from all new Assessors to be held on the Centres’ files.  It is noted that CPD must be held for each Assessor working for the Centre.  The rolling programme of Assessment observations and paperwork sampling continues. The Centre Lantra and NPTC Audits are due in the coming months.

## **TREASURERS REPORT FOR AGM 19 OCTOBER 2022** 

The Accounts are attached.  The Account at 31 July 2022 was unfortunately showing a £3816.32 deficit. The turnover is considerably higher than the previous period.  All invoices received are paid up to date; invoices issued are on Purchase Orders which take a number of weeks to be paid depending on the systems. 

The figures have been checked and signed off by Mr A Bowry of AB Accountancy Services, Bolsover. Mr Bowry has advised that the accounts are entered on the SAGE system.  This proposal to be discussed at the meeting.
