  1. Cardiff and Caerphilly Annual Members Meeting forOctober 2010 – September 2011

  2. Apologies to be recorded

  3. Branch Charter Core Roles • Branch Co-ordinator • Treasurer • Membership Co-ordinator • Parent Support Co-ordinator • PSA Link

  4. Core Role: Branch Coordinator(s) Outgoing - Jo Powell Incoming – position vacant

  5. Core Role: Treasurer Current – Emma Thomas

  6. Financial Report 01.10.10 - 30.09.11 Cardiff & Caerphilly Branch has generated £3,856.74 for NCT. This figure is made up of the ‘General Reserves’ surplus figure for the year, £197.44, plus the total ‘UK Office Contribution’, £3659.30. • Breastfeeding Counselling expenditure relates to expenditure incurred by Boobiful Babies & the Breastfeeding Support Tutor Group along with any other expense from the Breastfeeding Counselling students. This expenditure has remained pretty much the same as last years.

  7. Committee Costs appear massively down from last year. Last year £845, this year £146. However, HO added a new line to the account “Parent Support” which has incurred £874.24 worth of expenditure. Although the majority of this spending has been achieved through grants with the Caerphilly group etc, any committee costs for any activity supporting parents generally has been put through the new Parent Support line rather than Committee costs as it was last year. • Fundraising Unfortunately this year the total of our fundraising has decreased..... by £8.64!!! A fantastic effort - a total of £5028.57, totally driven through the NNS’s. (see full treasurers report) • Unfortunately the only other fundraiser this years ended in a deficit (Jan 11 Clothes Swap -£158.72), & our other attempt at a Spring Ball had to be cancelled due to lack of response.

  8. Newsletter profit is down this year at £307.18. Last year made £1037. Revenue generated from advertising sales has continued to increase (see full treasurers report). • Postage costs remain as erratic as ever (see full treasurers report). Volunteers are key to this success. Printing costs have seen a dramatic increase over the last 3 years - almost doubling per issue. Increase in colour advertising requests?
