Four other members of the Business Club were also present.
The minutes of the 2022 AGM had been circulated and were approved as a correct record of proceedings
There were no matters arising.
Accounting matters
It had been agreed following the adoption of the new Club Constitution at 2022 AGM that the accounting year of the Club should be changed to 31 December, thus giving a nine months’ accounting period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. The accounts had been distributed to the Steering Group prior to the meeting and will be published once inspected. However, the meeting accepted them as a correct reflection of the accounts of the Club.
Annual subscription. Following discussion the meeting agreed an increase in the membership subscription to £50 (an increase of £5). This fee is for a business, regardless of the number of employees a business has, any of whom are able to attend meetings of the Club.
