Minutes of the Annual General Meeting 22 September 2004

Held at Sundon Park Community Centre 7.30pm
  1. Introduction - about the club

    2. The Acting Chairman described the aims of the club and explained how the original committee (Chairman: Matt Love, Secretary: Hugh Byrne) had resigned and how he had continued the club as acting chairman.

  2. Report for 2003

    3. The Acting Chairman presented the Annual Report for 2003 (see Appendix 1).

  3. Election of Officers

    4. The following committee members were elected:
    Chairman:- Scott Bailey
    Secretary:- Sylvester Jacobs
    Treasurer:- Paul Clarke
    Junior Representative:- Daniel Bailey
    Member:- Wayne Johnson

    At this point, Scott Bailey took the Chair

  4. Approval of Accounts for 2003

    5. The new Treasurer noted that the accounts were a draft issue and were unsigned and unaudited (see Appendix 2). They were produced to give the meeting an idea of the small sums of money involved. He advised the meeting that they should not be approved.

    The Accounts for 2003 were not approved. The new Treasurer said that he would complete the accounts for 2003 as soon as possible.

  5. Programme for Rest of Year

    6. The plans for 2004 were even more ambitious than 2003. This was because we have obtained some grants for production of films and for purchase of a video projector and hire of the Library Theatre for showing the films.

    A draft budget had been produced (see Appendix 3). It was noted that our income would be even higher now because of an additional grant received. A list of planned and active projects and their status was described (see Appendix 4). The Provisional programme, up to the end of 2004 was reviewed (see Appendix 5). A draft list of events and societies in the Luton area that we might film for the Heritage Video Project was discussed (see Appendix 6).

    There was much discussion about a new commission by the Luton Borough Council Road Safety Unit. Those present wanted the film to be a "club effort" with as many members as possible participating.

  6. Any Other Business

    7. Scott Bailey made the point that we should make more films for competitions so that we got wider recognition.
