Minutes

Cosby Quilters A.G.M. 5th February 2025 @2pm

Gina opened the meeting at 2pm and went over the relevant Health

and Safety procedures.

Apologies. Sue Nightingale, Gaynor Evans

Secretary Jan read the minutes of 2024 AGM . As there were no

matters arising she proposed they be accepted as read and this was

seconded by Sue Wilson.

Treasurer Gina produced and went through last years accounts.

Although visitor and membership income as well as raffle income was

slightly down this year the sales table and workshop income was up .

Extra income also came from the community cafe.

Subsequent to this the balance sheet showed a small increase from

£2712 last year to £2890 this year.

As we are still in a good financial position there had been no need to

increase the membership charges of £30 per year.

Gina proposed accounts should be accepted and Shirley Smith

seconded that,

No new nominations had been received for committee members .

All committee members agreed to stand another year in their present

roles.

Gina highlighted the clubs achievements as follows;

1. The Beano Yarnbomb project

2. Taking part in the community cafe at the Yarn Bomb

3. Displaying work at the Big Textile Show

4. Taking part in the Travelling Books

Gina thanked Pat Screaton for organising workshops, sit and sew

days and speakers both for the past year and the forthcoming year.

Gina also thanked all of the committee for their hard work during the

past year.

Viv Denscombe and Sue Wilson thanked Gina for her leadership in

steering the club in the right direction.

Finally Gina explained the committee were still looking into the Quilters

Guild 2 visitor rule but haven’t yet come up with a suitable solution.

AGM closed at 2.18pm

Chair's Report (AGM 4th February 2026)

Cosby Quilters has been running for 37 years, and each year seems to be busier than the last.

We should all be very proud of our many achievements.

Our practical sessions, Travelling books, workshops, Sit and Sew days and Summer Stitch event all proved to be very popular which was great to see, and we have more good stuff planned for 2026. As always, Pat has worked hard to fill the program and we hope that the speakers and workshops will motivate and inspire you to join in and get stitching.

The program is available on the blog and here for you to take a photo on your phone so you have it to hand.

As stated earlier, we have kept the costs for membership the same (as we have for several years), which represents excellent value for money at

£30 for full year membership

And £5 for visitors membership

There are benefits to full year membership:

Reduced price for Workshops

Paid up full year members will be eligible for entry into 2 prize draws:

1 for free membership and the other for the Bursary Award

We hope that you will continue to support your group as you have over previous years.

So, lots of good stuff last year and plenty more for us to enjoy in 2026. I hope you will muster your usual enthusiasm and make 2026 another successful year for Cosby Quilters!!!
