Blueskin Media holds longest-ever AGM

by Craig Marshall

Annual General Meeting of Blueskin Media was held on 9 May at Gallery
on Blueskin, in Waitati, and was well-supported by our readers and
existing and prospective volunteers.

Louise Booth indicated she was more than happy relinquish thge
President's position and Peter Dowden was elected.

Therése Hailes and Lawrence Hay were nominated to share the position
of Secretary and to ensure there was always someone at each meeting.
The Secretaries' job is to record minutes at meetings and to
distribute these, and to deal with non-financial correspondence.

Colleen Hastie was nominated to the Treasurer position in absentia,
subject to her acceptance. The Treasurer's role is to maintain a
two-monthly billing cycle to each of the paying advertisers, to record
payments both inward and out, to keep a record of donations and
payments, and to maintain a simple set of books that record
transactions and balances.

A Committee of Louise Burnside, Lynnaire Johnston, Louise Booth, Craig
Marshall, Nicky Clarke was elevcted.

Outgoing Treasurer Polly Higham presented her final report. A small
gift was presented to Polly as a token of Blueskin Media's
appreciation of all her work over the years, along with thanks by
acclamation. Polly is the longest serving member of Blueskin Media and
was instrumental in dealing with a serious financial squeeze some
years ago, and has much to do with the very satisfactory current
financial state of the organisation.

The meeting resolved that Geraldine Tait and Alasdair Morrison would
investigate the possibility of Blueskin Media becoming an Incorporated
Society or Charitable Trust

It was resolved to investigate producing another phone directory
including addresses in Blueskin Bay, Warrington, Evansdale, and
Seacliff and to investigate collecting together recipes from 'The
Blueskin Bayleaf' and produce these in some form.

It was resolved that a donation of $104 ($2 per week for a year) would
be made to Blueskin Bay FM.

After a discussion on various editorial matters, the meeting closed at
8:45 pm. It was noted that this broke the record as Blueskin Media's
longest-ever meeting (1 hour, 15 minutes).
