Date of next meeting Monday 26th October 2015 – to finalise AGM and Awards MINUTES Monday 26th October 2015 @7.30pm Peterhead Football Club Attendance: Teresa Hood, Maria Willox, Linda McGee, Susan Strachan, John Robertson, Jim Mundie, Stewart Chalmers, Neil MacRitchie Apologies: Stephanie Wemyss, Barbara-Anne Jennifer Robertson, Nicola Drummond Points Discussed: Stewart welcomed everyone to the meeting Apologies as above Minutes from previous meeting Proposed by Linda McGee, Seconded by Maria Willox AGM: Check how to get into the venue Running order for evening – AGM first, Guest Speaker – Mel Edwards, Tea/coffee break, Awards ceremony Proposed fees for next year: Currently £7 of each membership fee goes directly to SA. This leaves £1 from each junior member and £3 from each senior member for the club. Active schools paid for all our lets for the 1st year and continue to pay for the hire of the rescue hall (although not sure for how much longer). This has allowed us to have a low membership fee in our first year. It was noted that Active schools no longer pay for the let of Catto Park, lights and any halls after 6.30pm. Although the finances in the bank are healthy this money could very quickly be used up paying for lets. Teresa felt that the junior fee was under priced considering that any child doing athletics (or any other sport) through active schools would pay approx. £80 per year. She also pointed out that it is worth considering that the coaches all have more experience and several have completed further training courses. The equipment we have is also new, top of the range for juniors. A fee of £40 for juniors was suggested with a family membership of £70 (2adults plus kids). Seniors could also pay an increased fee of £40 which could include their individual SA affiliation.
