7   The PTA asked that the Chairman attend there next meeting to assure them that the Parents Council was not taking over after the bank account name was changed.
     Mrs. Richardson reported that there was 4316 pounds in the bank with a further 500 pounds donated to the Sweinfurt exchange.

8   The Headmaster was asked about the progress of the future refurbishment and he has not heard a lot but understands that contractors have submitted quotes and the council has to discuss these and vote.  Hopefully work may start next year, this was discussed and the council suggested that the chairman writes to Benny Mulrain and finds out what is happening.
     We also had a long discussion about bullying in and around the school and how we felt is was being dealt with, as the Headmaster had gone by this time we will continue with this at a later date.
     The Chairman brought up the AGM that will take place on the 9th September he said that there will be a short council meeting before the AGM. The AGM will consist of a report from the chairman of how the first year has gone and a treasurers report, then an addition to the constitution so we can be quorate at all meetings and finally thy elections of office bearers for the next year. Below a copy of the passage we want to add to the constitution.

(A Quorum for any meeting of the Parent’s Council is 4 members of which at least 2 must be Parent Members.)

Date of next meeting   9/9/08  7pm in Main Hall
