Item
4. Meeting with Cllr. Galvez .......................See Above
Item 5. New Camposol Courier
None of the present Committee having previous experience of printing
and publishishing, but all being aware of the need to get the
Courier out again, it was decided that; Greg is to make enquiries
re printers and printing costs; Greg and Brian are to approach
local businesses re sponsorship; and Joyce, Greg, and his wife
Liz (whose services Greg kindly volunteered), are to work on a
possible format.
Item
6. Missing Receipts.
Roy is to write to Rathnait requesting receipts for monies spent
pre the A.G.M.
Greg is to collect the notice board bought for same.
Item
7. Website Update. .........................................See
Above
Item
8. Results from Survey.
Information from the survey has been collated and can be seen
at the desk. From these sheets an idea of the amount of money
going into the Ayuntamiento in I.B.I. and other taxes can be estimated,
as well as monies into the local economy from the buying of cars,
furniture, etc.
The survey shows that the vast majority of owners, given a "to
your door" delivery is not likely, want post houses as on
Sector A, though failing that would want the service provided
by Hilary and co., with a longer time span to collect.
Post houses per Sector will therefore be the basis of the Committee's
talks with both the Ayuntamiento and Masa.
The clean-up campaign had many volunteers on paper, and it has
been noticed that many are already doing their bit.
Other information gained will be used when relevant in talks with
Masa and the Ayuntamiento.
A
vote of thanks to the Secretary for time and effort collating
the results was
Proposed: Brian Tokely
Seconded: Ken Richardson Carried
Item
9. Close the Account at CajaMar El Pareton.
Chair advised:
that with regard to the account held at La Caixa Camposol, he
is advised by the manager that the process of changing the title
to that of "The Lawyers Fund" is ongoing, the necessary
proofs of CIF number and other legal requirements having been
provided to the bank.
that the General Fund account at Cajamurcia Camposol now holds
only 69€ and the need for funds to be raised is urgent, the
cost of even small items now becoming an issue.
that the account at CajaMar El Pareton which was the CRA/Courier
account, is no longer needed.
Therefore;
That the account at El Pareton be closed and the balance be put
into Cajamurcia,
and that both this account and that at La Caixa be brought into
agreement with the Articles of the CRA with reference to the number
of signatories was
Proposed: Brian Tokely
Seconded: Greg Green Carried Unanimously
Item 10. A.O.B.
Fundraising: Joyce proposed we have a members only Xmas Draw based
on
membership card numbers with a cash prize for the winner which
would raise funds as well as encouraging more members. This was
vetoed on the grounds of the illegality of offering cash prizes
without a gaming licence.
Greg proposed a monthly draw on a bigger scale than the Bonus
Ball which would be open to all.
Proposed: Greg Green
Seconded: Ken Richardson Carried with one abstention.
Chair expressed his disappointment that three of the new members
of the committee had been away since joining as this was holding
back the formation of a sub-committee for fundraising to assist
Val and Bob with their sterling work on the Bonus Ball.
Housing
defects: Ken advised that he had been made aware of further problems
due to subsidence in another area of Camposol. Chair said that
if those affected bring their cases to us at the desk, we will
pass them on at our meetings with Masa as long as they are members
of the Association.
Funds
for clean-up.
In the event that Masa refuse to pay for the skips needed to clear
the quantity of garden waste etc.lying around, Greg suggested
we might have a collection box on the desk specified for this
purpose. Chair added that perhaps one of the groups who successfully
raise money for charity might also want to contribute to something
for Camposol. Approaches will be made.
Decision
deferred until after next meeting with Masa.
Pottery
classes.
Chair said he had been contacted by a business man offering pottery
classes. He needs a venue for a display of work where potential
potters could see what they could do. The course would consist
of 3 sessions , and needs a class of 20 to make it viable. Enquiries
will be made as to where a display of work could be held, and
find a suitable room to do the "potting"in, the committee
feeling that trying your hand at pottery could well interest enough
people.
Action:
All Committee members to make enquiries.
(N.B.
This is not a fundraiser for the CRA, simply a social/cultural
opportunity for the Residents of Camposol which the CRA will try
to arrange)
This
being the end of business, the meeting closed at 14.45 pm.
Next
meeting to be held Monday 19th October at 4pm.
Venue to be advised. |
