Minutes of the AGM 2021

Matters Arising
Ross asked about reason for Special Business title. Evidently some groups call it that and others call it General Business.
R. Ross also asked why heaters/fire were not always on at The Mayfair in the cold weather. Kevin has seen wood outside. Evidently someone has to stay late to put the fire out. They are not happy doing that which is unfortunate for us.

- Lambert thanked her for all her hard work and for all her help with The Uke Festival.
The report was circulated.
- Ross asked about the 2 separate accounts and where they were on the summary. Jan explained this and added that the accounts will be left as they are for the moment. There could be changes according to what happens with extra events in the future. One of these accounts is for the Mainly Acoustic Club Night details. The second account is for other events such as The Uke Festival. We have applied for grants for these events. A separate account was necessary and it has worked well.
