Re: Congratulations
Gibby Chipmunk didn't have to oppose anyone as we had agreed at his appointment that he would retain the position if he wanted.
Full Committee for next Season is:
ChairwomanladyChair Lesley Smith
Vice-Chair Callum Gibson
Treasurer Bill Nuttall
Secretary Rob Russell
Local Membership Secretary Mel Mackie
National/International Membership secretary Neil McGuinness
Between now and the next meeting we are asking people for their ideas on what we should spend some money on next season.
There aren't thousands and thousands to spend so we need to spend wisely.
Should we buy lots of little things such as paint and brushes, bits of plumbing etc?
Should we put a larger lump sum towards something and if so what?
Should we spend the money on advertising runs of various things such as bus adverts, the car window sticker campaign?
Should we invest it in an ISA?
Etc etc. If you have any ideas at all people then please offer them up, all will be discussed at the next meeting on the 9th June.
My opinion on spending money has always been that we want to see something for it and ideally should see a return. Thats why we tried merchandising. For numerous reasons it didn't really happen but what money we did spend on stuff enabled us to have a visual presence at events like the Mela, Carnival and Barrowford show. We aren't a million miles away from breaking even on that venture but still have stock that will bring in revenue over the coming months.
This time round the floor is open as to what we will do.
