Minutes

Minutes of the Meeting held on Monday 9th May 2011 at the Natural Park Visitor Centre

Maureen Moss opened the meeting at 10.05 a.m.

1) Minutes of previous meeting were approved.

2) Matters Arising:
a) Maureen advised that the volunteers are not permitted to work unsupervised.
b) EMAUS - The money will be passed on to the orphanage as soon as possible.

3) Geoff and Sheena reported that cyclists were going off track to bypass a flooded part of the route where we planted shrubs provided by Valencia. This needs to be brought to the attention of the park authorities so that they can improve the track and, hopefully, deter walkers and cyclists from using the planting area as a track.

4) Treasurer's Report - We have a balance of 115.03 Euros in the bank plus 10 Euros in cash. It was suggested that we attempt to open an account with Caja Murcia to avoid paying bank charges and Richard will make further enquiries.

5) The new meeting day, Monday, is not convenient for at least four volunteers. It was suggested that we enquire where other associations meet to ascertain if we can use other premises and meet on our former day of Thursday. It was also suggested that we organise a social event with the Centre staff in order to improve communication.

Date of next meeting - Monday 13th June 2011.
