In May we had our AGM and
also discussed the Resolution led by Jan Pattison. The latter item caused some
confusion as the detail seemed to be mainly about ensuring that “Continuing
Care” was fairly accessed across the country, which was dependent on quite
specific and limited types of health care needs. However the Resolution itself
veered away from this and sought to ask that the destinction between personal
and nursing care be removed for everyone. Partly due to this apparent contradiction
and a general lack of clarity in the document we voted to leave the decision on
whether to support it or not to our National AGM delegate Mary, once she has
heard the arguments and obtained further information.
Lists were sent round for
people to sign up to provide cakes for various events including the fete and it
was pointed out by Caroline that at our recent Food Hygiene course we learnt
that, by law, we now have to declare various ingredients if we use them in our
cakes. The list includes many basic items such as eggs so we need to let anyone
selling them know what our cakes include so that this information can be put on
a label. It would be decided by the next meeting exactly how this would work.
Finally we had our AGM with
an interesting review of the year prepared and read by Jan and a set of
certified accounts given out. All current members of the committee agreed to
stand again and we voted for the new President. Barbara very kindly agreed to
take this post as without a President the group would have had to close. We
then enjoyed some lovely refreshments prepared by the committee.
Our next meeting will be on
Monday 8th June at 7.30 when we will have a talk about the RNLI
