  1. ACCOUNTS

Income and Expenditure schedules were distributed.  Expenditure on the Craftsmanship Awards was higher than in previous years.

 

5.      NEWSLETTER

The Spring newsletter has been distributed but, unfortunately, the incorrect postage was used resulting in many members having to pay excess postage and collect it from their local post office.  An email to members was sent out as soon as we were alerted to the problem suggesting members do not collect their newsletter and that we would send out another batch.  Unfortunately, due to some members not being on email, we were unable to contact everyone.

 

6.      CPD

The Riverside Suite at the Swallow Nelson Hotel has been booked for 6th October for a TRADA seminar.  It was agreed that a cost of £35 per head should be levied for this event.

 

  1. ARCHITECTURE IN SCHOOLS

Tony Cleary attended a very interesting exhibition at the Forum on 23rd April and it was agreed that this year’s project had, once again, been extremely successful.  Thanks were extended to Roy Payne for organising the event.

9.      NORFOLK BUILDINGS REGISTER

Philip Durban has designed a proto-type website for a Norfolk Buildings Register.  The idea is that it will form a comprehensive catalogue of buildings in Norfolk or by Norfolk contractors and that the contractors will pay to be included. This can be found on www.norfolkbuildings.co.uk.  Philip would welcome comments.
