Sunday 14th August 2016 at Northop Hall Pavilion
- Attendees :-
Steve Thomas, Dave Cooper, Phillippa Havill, Dave Butler, Gareth Sharpe, Jonathan Fagan, Rhys Cooper, Alan Thomas, Mandy, Peter Roberts & Darren Parsons. - Apologies:-
Chris Owens, Stuart Sigsworth, Gary Bell, Mike Jones, Marcia Grundy & John Ratcliffe. - Minutes of previous AGM agreed:-
Agreed by Dave Cooper & seconded by Philippa Havill. - Chairman Report:-
A good year for the club & we seem to be going in the right direction, he thanked Jonathan Fagan for organising the first tournament that the club had ever held, which has raised approx. £1600. We set our stall out to ensure we have a minimum of 2 coaches per team & Dave reiterated this to not only protect our coaches but to ensure that the children receive the correct standard of coaching. With this in mind again he reiterated that each coach must have at least first aid, welfare & their Level One coaching badge. He also congratulated the ladies on winning the North Wales Women’s League. We have now officially pulled away from GAP Nomads (PR asked) how does this affect us, we just become a stand-alone club again thus meaning we would need to buy new kits & change the club badge , bank account etc. But it would not affect anything else.
The club has now become a registered charity & this will hopefully help us bring more funding into the club. More info will follow on this.
League meetings – Dave cannot attend Monday nights and has asked if the club can draw up a schedule for people to go along to every meeting.
- Secretary Report:-
We need a more organised method of receiving our registration fees off the players, also a way of knowing what’s outstanding. All registration packs are now available for the new season along with Code of Conduct for each player. - Treasurer Report:-
The current bank balance is £1,370.98 & we have cash totalling £1,251.68 (this does not include money from the tournament (approx. £1,600) which will be banked in the next week. As we have now become a charity we have to have a detailed finance report, to assist in the enablement of this we need to control the registration fees & who pays what & when (copy of the current finance spreadsheet is below). The main expenditure last season was again pitch fees which now includes £1,100 for the use of the grass pitches in Northop Hall. The Club Insurance has been paid for the coming season, the outstanding claim we had against us has now been closed with no further action required.

- Safeguarding Officer Report:-
No issues have been raised throughout the season but we do have the ongoing court case outstanding where a previous player has put in a claim against the club for an injury she sustained whilst playing for us in 2011, this has being closed with no further action required. Philippa again reiterated like our Chairman about the importance of having at least 2 coaches at each training session & games. The issue that was raised at the tournament has been dealt with, with no further action. - Re-Election of Club Officials:-
