2024-25 Garthwaite AGM Chairman’s Report:
-
e Thanks go to the Trustees for their continued assistance and support, often going over and above the call of duty in their respective disciplines and responsibilities of maintaining and improving the building. o | also mention the work done by Roy Ford as Treasurer, and our new secretary. David Shepherd.
-
Especial thanks must go to our two Trustees, John Grimwood and Richard Drake, who have retired, as from this AGM. Both have given invaluable help and commitment to the Garthwaite over a considerable number of years.
-
o Trevor (Henry) Smith, having been responsible for the ordering and running of the bar for many years, with help from his wife, would like to step back from this role as soon as possible. Jamie Foulsham has agreed to take on this role following a short handover period.
-
e During the past year, the Trustees have been responsible for the following projects: o Commissioning the professional insulation of the loft space o Replacement of the heating system with smaller multiple boilers, © Introduction of a cashless bar, with “Take Payment” card payment facilities. o A few little heating niggles remain, but we continue to Investigate and learn thereby.
-
e A major issue exercising the Trustees’ minds has been Health & Safety, and the importance of complying with our insurance requirements. We have been proactive in our approach, with significant improvements, and more to come over the next year.
David Pateman Chairman Garthwaite Trustees
