2013/2014 AGM MINUTES – SIGN OFF
Catriona ran through items relating to previous AGM Minutes:

  • Kiltwalk – The Kilkwalk funds of £3100.00 were received into PTA Account at start of November and will therefore make up part of the 2013/14 accounting year end. £1500.00 of this will go towards Trim Trail installation and remaining funds are yet to be assigned to an outdoor activity based project by the School.

  • £1000 is being held back for a Dragons Den event in the New Year.

  • Accounts for 2012/13 have been signed off.

  • Flyers have been sent out for Easyfundraising and Microscooters school wide and via Facebook. Continue to send these out.

  • A Newsletter / Flyer will need to go out in the near future to update school forum on PTA matters.

  • Mynametags cheque has not yet been received and will need to be chased. This money will therefore fall into next year’s accounts.

  • Community Donation – agreed to hold off on this until more information is received about the Community Defibrillator.

2013/2014 Minutes were signed off.

  • Beetle Drive – Thanks were given to Sandra Lothian and Rianna Anderson for organising and serving refreshments.

  • SPTC forms had not come in in June and had to be chased. Cheque was sent for 2014/15 membership.

  • Easyfundraising – A total of £529.19 was received this year with 45 users. Constant reminders are needed to keep people using this.

  • Parent Consultations (March / October 2014) – Both were successfully led by Jen. A £1 door charge was put in place and a total of £140.10 was raised. This money will go towards admin costs and crèche supplies.

  • Edinburgh Kilt Walk – A team of 20 took part raising a fantastic total of £3100.00. This was a one off event and there is no plan to do this again in the coming year.

  • Freeze-pop Fridays – This was successfully led by Rianna. Money made was slightly down this year due to increased costs. Total profit was £254.34.

  • Transition day Talk – Talk on PTA given by Jo. This was well received and uniform was also on sale.

  • Sports Day Refreshments and Uniform Sales – Refreshment sales were up on last year with good levels of baking donations. Bottles of water and pop sold well and will need more of these next year. Due to good weather freeze pops were also sold towards the end of the afternoon.

  • Autumn Fair – This year had a good turnout. Advertising was increased and both Raffle and Tombola were significantly up on last year. A separate de-brief meeting was held to highlight what needs to be done for next year. Date has provisionally been booked for next year.

  • Fireworks Night – This was successfully led by Sandra Bowdler. The PTA was responsible for marketing, ticket sales, provision of Mulled Wine and volunteers to sell on the night. The night was a success and the PTA received £700.00 from the profits.

  • Bingo Afternoon – This was led by Jo. The event was new and well received with lots of good feedback. A profit of £923.80 was made. A de-brief meeting took place to improve event for this coming year. The Bingo machine was purchased for £20.00, this is held with Jo.

  • ELC Food Hygiene Course – Jo attended this course and will be responsible for food preparation at future PTA events.

  • Risk Assessments – these have been drawn up for all events except for Bingo. (Jo to do).

Catriona concluded that this has been a very successful year and without taking into account the Kiltwalk funds we reached our target of £6000.00 with £3000.00 already handed over for the provision of the whiteboard for the Nursery.
