The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Friends of St Nicholas Churchyard took place on January 21, 2023, at the Robin Hood Pub.
The minutes from the last AGM were accepted without objections, and no matters arose. As the chair, Patricia Squires presented the annual report, which was also accepted without objections. Thanks were expressed to Jeff Richard for well-received talks during the 2023 season.
Annual accounts were presented by Chris Cann and approved with no objections. The election of trustees took place. Matthew Phillips had stepped down last year, and Patricia Squires tendered her resignation as Chair and Trustee. Liz Cann, Chris Cann, Jeff Richards, Ben Singer, and John Kerr were elected as trustees until the next AGM. Ben Singer became the new Chair, Chris Cann the Treasurer, and Jeff Richards the Secretary.
During the discussion of any other business, the focus was on fundraising for St Nicholas Church. It was agreed to explore providing a 4G wifi hub for internet access within the church and electronic payment mechanisms for donations at Friends of St Nicholas Churchyard (FSNCY) events. Ben Singer, Patricia Squires, Jeff Richards, and Chris Cann were tasked with further discussions.
The date of the next meeting is to be confirmed.
