Apologies- Jeremy Griffiths, Thomas Greaves, Amy Dilks, Ray Taylor
Present – Charlie Lawson, Carrie Lawson, Pete Able, Dan Hatfield, Mark

- Last set of minutes approved by the committee
- Sub committee reports:
a. Chair-JG – Nothing to report
b. Treasurer -Dan reported that we had a positive bank balance of £10,200,
the accountants had received all the information they needed to
prepare the preceding years accounts (15 months). They had raised a
couple of items for the Trustees to act upon these were;
- When the accounts are prepared the Trustees (not the committee) should hold a
meeting and approve the accounts before submission to the Charities
Board it was agreed this could be a short meeting before the next
committee meeting if the accounts are ready in time. - The second thing to consider is the club has to submit an annual report Dan and Ian have
been working on a template which provides the legal elements of the
report you can add to this with more information but it was agreed that
for our first submitted report we keep it just at the legal requirements,
Dan and Ian to work on this so it will be presented to the Trustees at the
same time as the final accounts are.
c. Club Captain-JB – Nothing to report
d. Secretary– Charlie requested that the committee/ sub-committees all be
added to emails sent as well as the Whats App group names mentioned
were; Tim,Hampo, ,Toby and Clare Ray,Ro, Sara, Aron, Hayley (sorry not
sure on all the surnames IG) It was also suggested that Admin rights on
the Whats App be extended to those who are directly involved in
Training.
e. Safeguarding– Carrie reported that the new GBSLSC system for
safeguarding still with a few issues.
f. Training– Back on the beach and going well, although numbers low but
hoping for an uplift as it gets warmer. Nippers and Juniors also had their
first beach session last Saturday which is good to see.
g. Website– Cornwall Planning Group added. It was agreed by the
committee that the Go Fund me page should be hidden as it is no longer
our main source of raising money so it looks like we are not raising much
money! It can be brought back if we wish for special projects.
h. Club house update– Charlie has sent updated drawings to all committee
members and these were discussed by the committee and it was agreed
to accept Cornwall Planning Group (CPG) kind offer to prepare plans for
submission and Charlie was asked to instruct them to commence this
work. Once the plans are drawn up, BEFORE submission we should
contact all parties who may wish to discuss this as well as attend a PC
meeting so nobody is surprised when the application goes live. The
committee also agreed that it was vital for the club to listen to all
comments during the planning process and by applying for planning
permission we were not committing to building so majority local opinion
would be paramount in our final decision.

equipment to Dan for insurance purposes
