1. Minutes of last AGM: Accepted

2. Membership: Memberships are down on last year by half, this appears to be largely due to the fact we did not have a treasurer for several months and therefore no courses were run, members are disillusioned by what NESTA has to offer so are not keen to renew their memberships. Memberships will be held open for reps to encourage new members to join.

3. Course Costings: As there have not been any courses this has not been used yet. It will be reviewed at the next AGM.

4. Chairperson's Report: Thanks were given to all the committee for their work in what has been a difficult year for NESTA. Thanks to Marj and Rajan for all their help and support.

5. Treasurer's Report: The accountant has not been able to verify the accounts yet. They will be looked at in June and discussed at the next NESTA reps meeting. Informally, NESTA funds look healthy.

6. Committee:                   Nicola Head – Chair (on maternity leave)

Kate Laws - Vice Chair (acting as chair)

Hayley Fawcett – Acting vice chair

Lynn Watson – Treasurer

Fiona Menger – Vice treasurer

Gillian McCreesh – Secretary

Fiona Warriner – Vice secretary (on maternity leave)

6. AOB: It was suggested by a member that NESTA could offer bursaries to help members attend training courses/conferences. This was discussed and agreed to be trialled for 1 year, with this to be reviewed at next years AGM. A maximum budget for this year has been set at £1500 with this to be spread across the year. Applications for bursaries will be considered at NESTA reps meetings in September, December, March and May. A working party has been set up to devise an application form which will be circulated asap.

Next Meeting:

The AGM (followed by Reps meeting) will be held on Wednesday 20 May at 2.30 pm. in Room 4 at SureStart North, Hindpool Close, Hartlepool, Cleveland TS24 0TB
