THE FRIENDS OF BELHAM

meeting

The FOB AGM was held on 16th November 2017.26 members attended.

Chris opened the meeting and spoke briefly. Heexplained FOB’s aims and said that members should not be concerned if FOB was not immediately spending the money that it was raising as there would be many demands on it from the school when it moved into the new building next January.

He gave examples of activities which FOB had organised throughout the year and reported how FOB had spent some of the money it had raised. Fuller details were contained in an accounts report which Sophie distributed to members at the meeting.

Sophie presented a report of the accounts to the members who agreed it.
