Matter Arising

Communications Committee:

• Mike Melville had been approached and had agreed to work with the media.
• JM will concentrate on internal communications. GH would be the main spokesperson.
• Meeting with Turnbull Hutton GH had contacted him. Date to be confirmed.
• Meeting with Jimmy Miller JP had not been able to set up a meeting as yet.

SGM:

• Details of the resolutions passed are already on the web.

Community Ownership Loan Fund:

• AR reported the group had met and the details from Cobbets had been assessed – the view was they were fine though some points required clarification. All should be sorted out in time to launch around the 8th/15th January, (hopefully at a home Cup tie). Details would be trailed in the FFP.
• Communications Committee would come up with an A5 leaflet about it.

Business Plan:

• CP reports details have been passed to David Wann and he awaits his comments.

AOCB

27/11 Quiz – The team of NL, TC & JM did well at a good event. NL reported it raised around £800.

Club Shop – AR pointed out that the Credit Card link in the club shop is via Xara. Clearly RRFC can not get a merchants account.

Trusts Communications Event – JM reported briefly on the useful event.

Date of Next Meeting

Monday 20th December – flexible depending on events.
