Present for the meeting were;
Alistair – OG
Marie – MrsOG
Dave – Freeman
Graham – Plug from Bolton
Misa – misaditas
Howard – Grizzly
Claire – Littleme
Geraint – Mad1
Paul – Quicksy
The committee members positions were voted on before the meeting could proceed and the following was agreed;
Chairman – Dave, freeman
Secretary – Misa, misaditas
Treasurer - Paul, Quicksy
Membership Secretary - Marie, MrsOG
Training Officer - Howard, Grizzly
Assistant Training Officer - Graham, Plug From Bolton
Events co-ordinator - Claire, littleme
Press Officer – Dave, davehealey
The meeting then commenced with the following points on the agenda;
1) Possibility of setting up the membership to be paid once a year.
It was agreed that membership will now be due annually on the 1st of May for all members. New members joining the group will need to pay the following amounts;
1st May – 31st Jul £20 for responder, £10 for associate
1st Aug – 31st Oct £15 for responder, £7.50 for associate
1st Nov – 31st Jan £10 for responder, £5 for associate
1st Feb – 30th Apr £5 for responder, £2.50 for associate
2) Responder status only to be granted once basic assessments/interview carried out.
This was agreed and a new section will be made on the forum for information that only full responders should have access to.
3) On the committee no single person to take on more than one role.
This was agreed.
4) Committee meetings to be held every two months rather than every three at present.
This was agreed. In addition it was decided that two will be held in Lancaster, two in Bolton and two at Weeton each year. (One of the meetings at Weeton will be the AGM in May.)
5) Minimum level of attendance for committee members at meetings.
It has been agreed that committee members need to attend a minimum of three meetings during the course of the year.
6) Minimum level of attendance for responders at training events/group promotion.
It has been agreed that responders need to attend a minimum attendance of two promotional AND two training events each year.
7) Split the region into sub-regions in respect of control and training and appoint relevant positions.
It is felt that at this time there is no need to split the group into sub-regions but the issue will be kept under rolling review.
8) Any updates on charity status.
The treasurer is currently in progress with this and will update as and when he knows more.
9) Website (not forum) needs updating/revamp with regards to membership levels (cost), events and status (discussed with point 15 jointly)
The forum administration is looking into changing the hosting in the near future and as Dave has been paying the hosting fees from his personal funds it was agreed that he should be reimbursed from group funds.
10) Formal Group Activities - notification of dates.
Where possible there will be a minimum of four weeks notice for group activities. The date for next years AGM has been set and it will be held on Sunday the 20th of May 2012
11) Driver Assessment
Driving assessments of responders are there to display that the individual is capable of driving their vehicle in a safe and satisfactory manner and is aware of their vehicles and their own limitations. It is also to show that the responder is familiar with the controls and functions of the vehicle and its features. As with any form of assessment or test it will only show how the individual performs at that time. It is felt that driving skills on road need not be assessed as the responder has already passed a DSA driving test.
12) Public Image and Perception.
The group will try to arrange and carry out more promotional events.
13) Levels of Training.
We currently have three levels of responder which were agreed upon at the 2010 AGM and are as follows;
Basic – Driver assessment carried out and showed to be competent and the level of kit carried in/on the vehicle checked.
Standard – As above plus first-aid training either through the group or a copy of the individual’s certificate provided to the training officer.
Advanced – In addition to the standard level if there has been any form of advanced driving/medical training or any other training that may be of use in a callout. Copies of any certificates must be supplied to the training officer to support this.
14) Committee Meeting Minutes.
These will be posted in the responder section of the forum.
15) Website/Forum
