AGM 2018


position of having to re-cycle the same faces. This year the Committee took the decision to co-opt three individuals so that they could see how we work. To this end Holly Poncini, Paul Roberts and Tom Williams were co-opted. All three of these individuals have shown enthusiasm and have undertaken several tasks within SOSA and SOSC. I hope that you will all support the election of these individuals later in this meeting. I hope that you all have a great


Reunion and I look forward to seeing you next year.


6. Treasurer’s Report: Presented by Richard Hughes The Income and Expenditure account for the period ended 31 March 2018 and the Balance Sheet as per 31 March 2018 were circulated. The Balance Sheet showed a total of £10,999 in the bank.


Paul Frampton expressed concern over the relationship between SOSA and SOSC. SOSC was set up as a charity so gift aid could be claimed but as it is a separate entity should it be included in SOSA business? Trustees of SOSC should be able to attend the AGM and report. He suggested the two should be kept separate. As the school is a registered charity any gifts made directly to the school can also be gift aided.


7. Head’s Report: Presented by Toby Spence See page 17.
