8 attendees: DB = Diana Betts, PL = Peter Lowe, GT = Geraldine Thompson, OC = Owen Clutton, MM = Mary O’Mahony (Chair), AM = Angela Martin, JA = June Adams, RW = Roger Wright (Secretary).
Apologies were received from: Fr Tom
Agreed actions shown in bold red type.
1. Minutes of last meeting
MM took the chair for the first time and thanked OC for his previous loyal service to the group. Other members concurred. All outstanding matters were dealt with under agenda items.
2. J&P calendar entries
No one had received the email containing the agenda and calendar entries which RW had intended to circulate. He said that this would be investigated and the calendar re-transmitted when the problem had been resolved.
MM would discuss collection dates for the Foodbank and Manna Centre with Fr Tom, and also a possible confusion with the collection and plant sale fundraiser for Zambuko House. Some of the proposed collection dates are during school holidays which should be avoided if possible. Publicity is less effective if a collection is on the first weekend of school term.
3. Traidcraft Stall
The stall held on 17-18th January sold £228 of stock and reduced the amount held by 50%. In future the January clearance sale should be held a little later to allow more time for the effects of Christmas consumption to subside! The next stall would be on 14-15th March when more help than usual would be needed because of Easter egg ordering.
The 2014 accounts are shown as an appendix to these minutes.
4. CAFOD Fast Day (Friday 27th February)
RW had received the Fast Day talk and posters from CAFOD. The talk will be given and envelopes distributed on 21st and 22nd February. The following will give the talks:
6.30pm Roger Wright; 9.15am Roger Wright; 11.00am Peter Lowe
Envelopes would be distributed at the main entrances (the corridor to hall should be covered as well on Sunday) by the following:
6.30pm Mary O'Mahony, Roger Wright
9.15am Diana Betts, Roger Wright, plus one other for corridor
11.00am Peter Lowe, Angela Martin, plus one other for corridor
5. Quiz Night (Saturday 7th February)
Discussion noted elsewhere
6. Any other business
6.1 Church cleaning on 31st January is the turn of J&P. The following said they would help: MM, PL, GT, OC and RW.
6.2 CAFOD Climate Change campaign
RW noted that Fr Tom was reasonably sympathetic to the idea of J&P supporting the CAFOD climate change campaign, suggesting our focus should be during Lent. (Ash Wednesday 18 Feb, Good Friday 03 April 2015.) He took the CAFOD booklet, the myths and policy document, a poster and a postcard. The latter would be used for a mass parish signing. It was agreed we could have a parish signing although the exact form was not discussed.
6.3 It was agreed that members should be sent each others landline and mobile phone numbers. RW would circulate these by email.
6.4 RW reported that Caroline Price had been injured and was recovering. All those present were sad to hear this news and hoped she would soon be well again. A get well card was signed by all.
There being no other business, the meeting closed at 9.05pm.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 25th February 2015 at 7.45pm.
