Item 7: Please see attached spread sheet identifying income raised and out goings thus far. The crowd funding, walk and Jars have all been great successes. Thanks to all for their input.
Coffee morning now planned for early spring next year.
JC to agree with ST who should be the signatures on a Bank account that would be used for all donations and outgoings, until we have a bank account opened we can’t move forward on the charitable concept.
Once we gain charitable status we will be able to run a text donation campaign.
Other ideas are a 2018 pre-sold calendar, Local cheese and Wine evening.
