3) Treasurer’s Report (treasurer did not attend see above)

Incomplete accounts were received for scrutiny by Rhona Wyer (FSA approved) and a report was submitted, indicating that there was more work to do before the accounts are acceptable.

In lieu of the above, a meeting will be arranged with key members and the new treasurer to attempt resolution.

Concern was raised by Nigel that the Account card did no more than authorise payments made by cheque, and that internet purchases were not possible and proved difficult when ordering items prior to Carnival, for example.

4) Chairman’s report

The Chairman read his report to the committee, copy attached.

He was expecting a few councillors to be present, and additional members considering the success of our main project for the year, the re establishing of   Bangor Carnival after a decade gap since the previous one.

Chairman welcomed the new Student representative for Welsh Affairs and the Community, Ms Sharyn Williams. Sharyn was very impressed with the work that we have done and our accomplishments to date, and is keen to be available for any advice and contact with the Student body. She mentioned that working together in term time would be most fruitful, but not exclusively.

The Chair expressed the importance of the connection with the students and the embracing of more groups in the community. Having projects for all to have the opportunity to be involved in is a key aspect of our activities.

It was requested that when suggestions are put forward that some research with a figured out plan of action is included as a start point. These projects will have greater sway when it comes to  the group making a choice and commitment .
