Chairman’s Report
ii. PowerPoint Presentations:
More and more speakers seem to require power point for a means of presenting a talk. The committee have requested if Oliver Powell could look into the cost of a projector for the society. The monies we hope to obtain from the grant, to cover the Sherington Welcome Pack, could be used for the purchase.
iv. Old SCAN magazines
Pam Ellis has told MV that she would like to make available old copies of the SCAN magazines to the society. We shall check against the list to see which copies we are missing and take second copies of the front covers for the artist file. Spare copies will be offered to North Crawley Historical Society.
Treasurer’s Report:
A cheque for £119 plus £10 cash donation was sent to Willen Hospice. These amounts were the proceeds of the raffle from the Tribute Evening for the Late Peter Gardner.
