Quilters AGM on Wednesday 7th February 2024 at 2pm
Gina welcomed everyone to the AGM in what is our 35th year.
Apologies were received by Jean
Waterfield, Kathy Frances, Helen Parker, Janice Cook, Pam Hancock,
Yvonne Jordan and Shirley Smith.
Jan read the
minutes of the AGM of 1st
February 2023 which had been circulated on the blog. There being no matters
arising she proposed that the minutes
should be accepted as read and this was seconded by Jacquie Durber.
Gina presented
the Treasurers report [also issued in advance and on the blog] as follows:
INCOME
The Accounts were presented in the usual format with the key items as follows:
There had been two significant changes in income with an increase of
£770 in subscriptions and a fall of workshop income of just under
£500. The overall income however is very similar to last years with just £40 more than the previous year.
EXPENDITURE
There has been an increase of workshops expenses [and associated
spending] rising from £1066 to £1300 .
The committee agreed to increase the rent of the church rooms to £50 a
month to cover increased costs of heating etc, and also made a donation of £250 towards the cost of the audio visual equipment
installed last year.
Two bursary payments of £50 were made to Anne Cope and Jo Turner.
Although our income has fallen by
£368 our financial overall position remains good with funds of £2712. This
means we can still keep subscription charges at £30 for the year.
As there were no matters arising Viv Denscombe proposed that the accounts be
accepted and this was seconded by Carole
Clarke.
Nominations+
Election of new Committee MembersThere being no new nominations the
committee has agreed to stay in their current posts for another year.
Gina thanked all those presently
on the committee for their hard work during the past year
Chairs
Closing Remarks
The club had 57 members for the past year with an average of 40 people
attending each meeting. Gina thanked Pat for putting together an inspiring
programme of speakers and workshops for all to enjoy and take part in. The
committee have agreed however members must pay in full prior to booking a
workshop. This is necessary in order to see if it is viable to go ahead .
The sit and sew day was a success with 14 attending and more will be
organised this year.
Thanks also must go to Viv for organising the travelling books which has
been a resounding success.
This years yarn bomb will be in
July this year not August and the theme is Fun and Games with Mischief and
Mayhem. Our theme is Beano and Dandy with Sue ,Pat and Jan organising that.
The Big Textile Show is back in October which we are also participating
in.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
As a final thought Gina went on to say that Cosby Quilters is about the
members and the committee would like to thank you the members for their continued
support as it couldn’t function as it does without that support.
There being no other business Gina closed the meeting at 2.19pm.
3. Cosby Quilters Income and Expenditure Account 2024
4. Treasurer's Report for 2024
Issued in advance & available on the blog
You should all have sight of the accounts for the year ended 31/12/24, presented in the usual format - Income and Expenditure at the top and balance sheet below.
I’ll run through them, starting with
INCOME
Membership and visitor income is slightly down from 2023. Sales table income has risen and raffle income has fallen, but taken together they are on a par with the last year. Workshop income has increased – mainly due to the 3 day summer stitch session which was very popular, we will repeat this again in 2025. Additional income of £153 was generated via the Community Cafe which we managed as part of the Yarnbomb – and was very welcome.
EXPENDITURE
Speaker fees are pretty much unchanged although travel & accommodation has risen by £120 this year as we are look further afield for some speakers along with some local ones too. There was no charitable donation made during the year, but the Committee have agreed that will make one early in 2025, and we will report this to the members.
Increased materials costs include costs for group projects, items for practical sessions and those for sale at meetings and workshops.
The 2024 bursary payments are outstanding and will be paid shortly leaving £200 in the Fund.
BALANCE SHEET
starting position £2,712, movement in the year and our final balance stands at £2,890, a small increase on this time last year. Our bank balance at 31/12/24 was ££2,429 and cash holdings were £461, meaning that our funds have risen by £178.
Due to our good financial position we have decided to keep our annual membership fees at £30 and visitors will be charged £5 for up to 2 visits.
