Christmas Crafts and so much more

We had Christmas Crafts on the programme, and some members did indeed make Christmas cards – hand made cards from a friend, family member or someone you have supported through the year are very special.

We also had the Hama beads and other craft activity available.

The Hall was set up with tables and chairs for an event on Saturday, but this was no obstacle (or and obstacle we could work around!) to a little football. This is so much more challenging and interesting than playing in a large empty field! We play with a foam ball, which is less risky than a real football would have been.

We also played Boccia, another Phab favourite.

It was good to see some less familiar faces too – Phab is a social club, so the more people to socialise with the better!

A hybrid AGM

For various reasons quite a few of our key members found it difficult to come to Wesley Memorial Church for out Annual General Meeting, however we were able to run it as a hybrid meeting.

Tom, our Chair conducted the meeting, as we accepted the minutes of the last meeting, and elected a new committee from the nominations which had been submitted earlier. His review of the year reminded us of all the good times we have had together.

We postponed a decision on the Roy Lewis Award, the recipient of which will be decided by the committee, rather than the full meeting.

We accepted an updated Safeguarding Policy, and are grateful to Mary for her Safeguarding expertise in creating it to fit our needs. We will schedule Safeguarding training into our next programme.

The Treasurers report showed that, although we have sufficient reserves, we are running at a deficit, and we discussed fundraising options.

Although not the most exciting of Club Nights, it is an opportunity for the whole membership to see the more administrative side of the way the club works, and to provide ideas on where we should be going.

We look forward to what next year will bring.
