Agenda 7Dec10/Secretary's Report: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:34, 3 December 2010

A number of random calls. One from a donor requesting a refund (passed on to CM and TD).
Discuss - the phone is now seeing more general use than press use, and its use as a press phone is being succeeded by Gemma. Suggest it might be better for CM to hold the phone and forward enquiries as appropriate to individual board members.

Event was successful. Over 100 participants. Sessions went well, as did location/catering. Things that could have been better: attendance, administration (e.g. process for dealing with registration fees paid in cash).
Details of expenditures (still being finalised) are on the internal wiki.
First part of Liam's contract has now been paid. Second part will be due soon. A number of other invoices need to be paid (location, catering, presenter gifts) plus other expenses (MP, AT, JS, LW).
