Welcome

PS chaired the meeting and welcomed everyone. MW taking the minutes.

Minutes of 2023 AGM

Minutes of previous AGM were proposed by YS and seconded by LB .

Chairperson’s report by

It has been another tough year but I would like to say a big thankyou to all who have helped to keep the Centre open for yet another year. Well done during 2024. On behalf of the Committee, I would like to thank who have been

looking after our bookings and accounts and valued Committee members for nearly ten years. They will be missed.

During 2024 we have received funding from the Clyde Windfarms of £1,231 which has allowed us to re-decorate the ground floor and lay new carpet tiles in the canteen and also a new oven in the kitchen.

A contractor is looking at the damp in the upstairs offices and we are also looking into the glass roof repairs in the main hall.

Funding of £1,200 was granted from D&G Council Poverty Fund towards our energy bills.

The big bin has been changed to a smaller wheely bin saving us money.

We now have an account with HMRC so we can do our tax returns online, avoiding any penalties.

The Fire Alarms are being tested by PS on a more regular basis now so we comply with fire regulations.

The Community Centre has had all of its inspections done both structural and mechanical through the Council.

The Council are looking into changing all the lighting to LED’s on the ground floor. The survey has been done and if it goes ahead, it will save us a lot of money.

Generally, we are in a good position with regular bookings including the NHS with further bookings until the end of March 2025.

Treasurer’s Report

LB presented written audited annual accounts to the committee. They were proposed by PS and seconded by YS as a true account.

The energy bills seem to be better. Cleaner is paid £25 per week. The rentals are paid on time.

Any other business

No correspondence.

LB said that the accounts are very basic and LM could possibly do both, she is happy to take on OSCR. MW said that she works full time and is now caring for her mother that’s not an option. MW will put notices in the village and the Nithsdale Times. LB /AM are going to meet and finalise all the accounts ready to hand over to the new Treasurer.

AM and LB are the named persons on the Bank Account which need to be changed over, then we have access to the account. LB said they would not have a problem with doing the accounts until the end of December.

Closing the account down and opening a new one is not an option. LB and AM will sign some cheques so that we can use them.

MW mentioned the new calendar which MW/LM can access the bookings, we can give the new Treasurer access to the calendar.

PS mentioned having a meeting to try and bring people on board, he said he would nip into the Line Dancing Group to see if anyone would be interested.

LB mentioned that has mentioned that we are going through two boxes of toilet tissue in two months which is a lot. There is no hand dryer in the toilet on the corridor, MW to look into it.

The Church is presenting a couple of problems, the kids are not supervised by adults. MW mentioned that she has contacted Pastor Grant about other problems with the toys.

LB Riding of the Marches Association have a mural and would like to put it up in the Community Centre. MW said that she is keeping the kitchen/canteen clear but they could put it up in the big hall.

LB said we had been used during the festival for a pet show, disco, rehearsals and meetings.

MW asked if we charge people from the price list LB agreed.

PS asked LB about the £10,000 we should have had, LB confirmed that we received it.

MW said that we need more regular meetings as two a year is not enough. PS said every three months.

MW mentioned all the repairs we still have outstanding. Some of repairs have been done. The fan in the storeroom has been blocked up but the fan in the kitchen is still blocked up. MW said there is more funding to go for, when the glass roof is fixed, I want to re-varnish the floor and buy Jackie a floor polisher.

YS asked if we are putting up the rents. The original groups will stay the same but new rentals could go up. The NHS requested the heating on and (Nurse) would put us forward as a meeting venue.

Generally, we are in a good position, money wise and bookings.

PS came in from the Line Dancing Group and Caroline said that if we can’t find anyone she could help with the accounts. MW said let us see what happens after the advertisements go out.

LB mentioned that groups get a discounted price if they attend the meetings maybe we could introduce this again.

MW asked SC if she had anything to say and she confirmed that this was the last meeting she will attend and no-one is taking her place. We still have FD. MW thanked SC for all her help with the funding as she could not have done it without her.

The next Management Meeting February 2015.

There being no further business, the AGM was closed.
