Hi Everyone,

Last year in September the Community & School held two small mini meetings outside of our usual once termly meeting. The first was to seek approval for some extra money for the pool cover because the initial quote had increased and to approve money for a thank you gift. The second mini meeting was to approve spending on The Life Trust (Harold The Giraffe). These mini meetings made two things apparent to the office holders.

Firstly, we have no quorum for the C&S documented anywhere. Secondly, we got to thinking, there must be ways we could become more agile and efficient.

Subsequently the office holders, in collaboration with Finn, have put together the C&S Internal Systems Document, which is attached.

This is a very simple document which outlines systems we already follow, and introduces some new ones, which the office holders believe will enable the C&S to be more efficient and agile, yet remain transparent. We wanted to share it with you all before the meeting on Wednesday so you can read it and have a think about it. This document is on the agenda for discussion on Wednesday.

I won’t be at the meeting, Montie is chairing it, but I will be interested to read the minutes afterwards and hear your thoughts.

All best
