4. Minutes.
The minutes of the meeting of 3rd September 2003 were passed following two typographical corrections.

5. Matters Arising.

5.1 1ST YEAR DISCO
Mr Hempsey reported a successful night with approximately 100 attending. This should realise something in the region of £250 less the cost of the disco payment. The 6th Year tuck shop also did well. It was pointed out that 1st year disco success does not necessarily carry on to 2nd & 3rd years as the interest wanes.

5.2 FASHION NIGHT
The fashion night represented a success given the fact that it was pitched against parents’ nights at other schools. The President pointed out that there were too many unaccompanied children on the night. This has a negative effect on the target buying audience. It was reflected in the reduced commission paid by Virgin Vie and the Silver stall of £30, although they also provided raffle prizes.

Thanks were recorded to Bay Trading, Mary Meechan at the Houston Hair Salon, McHarg Bakers and all who assisted.

5.3 NEWSLETTER
Two issues have already been produced with the next due on 3rd December 2003. Mr, Hempsey offered to include major or upcoming PTA events in the school newsletter. He will speak to the newsletter committee and advise them to expect input from the President.

5.4 RACE NIGHT
A race night update was provided; to date 70 tickets sols.
30 tickets left at school for sale,
£300 in sponsorship raised.
£230 in fees to Red Box,
£30 expenditure for wine.

Initial signs were that the race night was in profit and with the programme made up and raffle income on the night it all looks promising. Discussion ensued on the format and support required on the night. The arrangements made thus far clearly demonstrated the hard work of the committee.

6. Correspondence.

6.1 The School Board minutes were available for perusal from the President. Following discussion it was agreed that our minutes be supplied to the School Board.

ACTION; PTA MINUTES TO SCHOOL BOARD - Secretary.

6.2 The President reported the receipt of £75 being the Insurance Premium refund discussed on 3rd September 2003.

6.3 An update was provided on the application to site an ice-cream van in the school grounds at lunchtimes. The vendor having offered £250 per quarter to PTA funds.

Mr. Hempsey reported that Council Policy was clear on the matter and that permission was refused. He stressed that it was neither in the remit nor within the power of the school to overrule Council Policy.

6.4 The renewal fee for the membership of the Schools Parent Teacher Council is due in two weeks.

7. Treasurers Report.
The Treasurer, Linda Robertson, reported taking possession of the books in the first week of November. Despite the discussion of 3rd September 2003 on an audit there was no evidence of this having been done. The accounts were signed off in September, and not April, 2003.

A typed update of accounts was provided, copy at Appendix ‘B’, which gives an accurate position as at 6th November 2003.
Discussion ensued and agreement was reached that the accounts were as they should be. No further motion for an audit was made.

An invoice is still to be lodged with the President by the school for the display boards, which are now in the school.

8. Christmas Concert.
Mr. Hempsey confirmed the concert was to be held on Thursday 18th December 2003. A discussion took place regarding the provision of raffle prizes at PTA events. Consensus was reached that in general terms large numbers of prizes were not required. In addition the PTA volunteers per event should obtain/provide a prize thus spreading the burden throughout the year.

ACTION; Volunteers (with prizes) John, Susan, Julie, Gail, Pamela, JLSM and Mr. Hempsey.

9. 100+ Club.

Alan Tidd presided over the draws for the following prizes;

10. AOCB

10.1 Wish List
The President presented a bid from Irene Doole, Music Dept, for a donation of £250 to purchase new band music. Following discussion this was approved.

ACTION; £250 expenditure approved.

10.2 Healthy Eating.
This subject was raised by the Treasurer and prompted a full debate. In short healthy eating is not being encouraged by dint of the existence of only one till to service the queue. This matter has already been raised by the pupil council (on 10/11/03). The school roll is 958 of which an average 600 go through the canteen daily. The franchise is with ‘Hunger Buster’ and the catering staff have control of the process.

ACTION; Letter to the Council and Local Councillors to promote healthy eating. Mr. Hempsey to supply addressee.

10.3 Foreign Trips.
The President raised the issue of the fair allocation of these trips. Mr. Hempsey replied that any pupil could apply and only when trips are oversubscribed is a ballot held. This is regarded as the fairest way of allocating places. There was general agreement that this was fair – if it was applied.

10.4 4th Year Meeting – 100+ Club Envelopes.

Collected by Jane McGonigle.

10.5 Teacher Support.

In response to a query Mr. Hempsey stated that two teachers were present at the Fashion Night.

10.10 Web Site.
A proposal to create a domain and web site “GryffePTA.com” was made by David McKie. This was received enthusiastically and discussion ensued on development opportunities. Initially the PTA site is to be established prior to links to the school or any other site. David asked that his company name be mentioned on the home page. This was acceptable to all present.

ACTION; Progress the Creation of a Domain Name and web site ; David McKie.

4. Matters Arising

4.1 Race Night
This was a huge success and a massive profit of £669.60 was made. Anyone who was at the night all agreed that the compare was excellent and that overall it had been a fun night.
A big thank you has to go to the sub committee who organised it – Barbara, Jane & Denise and to Graham for organising the Bowling Club.

Action – Pamela will speak to the sub committee to see if they would organise again and speak to Graham to book the Bowling Club for the 2/10/04.

4.2 Xmas Night Out
This was a very enjoyable night as it gave everyone a chance to talk informally and socialise. As it was successful more nights out are planned.

4.3 Xmas Concert
Again this was a successful event but the members who were on duty on the night feel that we should have more soft drinks & water & less wine, next time, as there was a lot of wine leftover, as most people wanted something non-alcoholic.
The PTA would like to thank the 6th year pupils who helped out on the night.

4.4 Ceilidh / Disco
This has been organised for Saturday 13 March 2004 in Houston Bowling Club. The tickets will be £5 and each table will provide their own food. It was suggested that each PTA member, who is attending, organises his or her own guests to bring some food. Some ideas e.g. sandwiches, cocktail sausages, nuts, sausage rolls, crisps, etc. – in other words simple party food.

Action: Pamela - will organise tickets
John Wilson – will contact the DJ
Jean – will arrange plates, crisps and napkins.
Trevor- will phone PTA members for ticket numbers
All – anyone who has not donated a raffle prize could they bring along something on the night.
David McKie – will distribute tickets.

5. Web Site – www.gryffepta.com

David has set up an excellent web site for the PTA. There is a facility through a link to order goods from Amazon.com. The PTA will earn commission if anyone buys items through the link.

All – visit the site and e-mail David with ideas.

6. Treasurers Report

As at the 31/12/03 there is a balance of £2485.26 in the account.

1st Year Dance - £177.80
Tea – Parents’ Night etc - £ 33.00

7. AOCB

7.1 Quiz
A discussion took place regarding a possible Quiz Night to be held in May. It was agreed this would go ahead. It was decided that we should investigate how we could maximise the Bar profits. Trevor- to speak to Graham about last year’s arrangements and see if Asda do a Sale & Return facility.

7.2 100 Club
Will need to draw Dec/Jan/Feb at the next meeting.

7.3 Parents’ Nights
As can be seen from the Treasurers Report we make very little money from selling teas etc at Parents’ Nights. It was proposed that from August 2004 we should stop providing this facility except at the New S1 Intake Parents’ Meeting.
To be discussed with Mr Hempsey at the next meeting.

7.4 Fetes
A short discussion took place regarding our presence at the Houston and Bridge of Weir Gala Days. It was agreed that considering the amount of work that was put into them the returns were poor. The PTA will not have a stall at the Gala Days this year.

7.5 Bag Packing
It was suggested that we should consider bag packing as a method of obtaining a lot of money. This is something that will be looked into further in the future.

7.6 Insurance
Trevor confirmed that if we obtain a letter from the schools Insurers showing that they insured the various items we could obtain a further rebate from the PTA Policy.

Action – Trevor to speak to Mr Hempsey.

8. Date of Next Meeting

Matters arising.

(1) Pamela reported the fact that the PTA had donated £8,515.27 to the school in the past year. After discussion it was agreed that an objective be set by the school to identify something that new revenue can be directed towards in the coming year.

Action.- Mr Hempsey to research and report.

(2) The proposals to change the school in conjunction with other schools was raised and debated. Mr. Hemsey recommended that members take the opportunity to attend the upcoming public meetings. As an employee of the Council he, quite rightly, refrained from offering any opinion.

(3) Pamela led a vote of thanks for Mr. Hempsey's and the other staffs' support over the year.

(4) Correspondence from school departments expressing thanks for funding for netball, football, basketball and home economics were read and noted.

(5) Bids. Mr Hempsey read over bids from :

(a) Business Education Department, a change in computer platforms required expenditure of £281. - APPROVED

(b) Geography Department. A digital camera and mapping books were requested at a cost of approximately £1,327. Discussion ensured whereby the bid was supported however sourcing of the equipment was queried. Members felt that the options for the PTA to buy - particularly the camera - was available through our website. Following the discussion the decision to APPROVE subject to lowest cost option was made.

Overall the expenditure approved will top out at £1603.15 (subject to variation due to the above caveat)

(6) Parents Nights. Request to introduce PTA on the concourse at all parents nights. AGREED.

(7) Insurance. There was no update on this issue from Mr. Hempsey.

Ceilidh.

Pamela gave a vote of thanks to all concerned in organising, running and donating to the successful Ceilidh/Disco.

A total income of £620 was offset by expenses of £145 leaving a net profit of £475.

Discussion took place on ticket monies received v numbers present. The income from tickets relvealed 94 tickets bought. (£5 x 94 = £470) however estimates of those present amounted to 120 which amounts to a probability of 26 people unpaid (£5x26=£130)

Members are agreed that a more robust system be implemented for receiving payment.

Quiz Night.

In continuation of the last item money will be taken at the foyer at the top of the stairs for the quiz night. All arrangements have been made and 'helpers' should be at the school for 7pm.

Minutes of Gryffe High School PTA Meeting 1st September 2004

Welcome: Pamela opened the meeting and welcomed everyone (22) to the first meeting of the new term. Ten new members have joined and a warm welcome was given to the four who were present.

Present: Pamela McKie, Trevor Wilson, JLSM, Linda Robertson, Alan Tidd, Liz Davie, Barbara Gillespie, Jean Hay, Denise Hyndman, Susan MacDonald, Gail McClory, David McKie, Carol McQuade, Sue Skinner, Billy Sweetin, Julie Whiteford, John Wilson, Peter Hempsey, Caroline Watt, Val Adam, Irene Finan, June McRae.
Apologies: Apologies were received on behalf of Fiona Reid and Jane McGonigle.
Minutes: The minutes of the meeting held on 5th May 2004 were accepted.
Treasurer’s Report: The Chair reported that as of 30th July 2004 the free funds balance of account was £4,686.81.

Matters Arising:
· Awards Presentation Ceremony – Pamela reported that the second “Lesley French Memorial Quaich” was presented to Kyle McKara for Excellence in Creative Writing.

· Quiz Night – The last quiz night realised £734. The ticket sales were down on previous years and it was reported that the process of payment for accurate numbers needs to be tightened. Agreement was reached that each PTA member would nominate the number of tickets they intended to sell. Thereafter, a check would be made one week before the event when sales would be notified to David McKie. If not enough tickets sold then David and Trevor Wilson agreed to contact PTA members in an effort to increase ticket sales.

Pamela intimated that she intends to
(a) put a sign on the Bowling Club notice board – “PTA Fundraising” to advertise events;
(b) put an advert in the local press intimating forth-coming events.

A warm vote of thanks was given to Jean Hay for her organisation of the bar supplies on the night.

· Wish List – Mr. Hempsey made a request on behalf of the Technical department for Coursework books totalling £337. Following a short discussion this was APPROVED and cheque will be given to Mr. Hempsey.

In respect of a bid from the Geography department which had previously been agreed Mr. Hempsey will pass details to David McKie who will cost items and hopefully purchase through the affiliate schemes on the PTA website. Similarly expenditure approved on 5th May 2004 for the Business Education department of £281 has yet to be paid. Mr. Hempsey will check on this and if applicable pass details of sought after items to David McKie who will cost and purchase via the website.

Mr. Hempsey proposed that the PTA support a project to replace the curtains in the school theatre. The cost is estimated at around £3,000. Discussion ensued on whether the refurbishment expenditure for the school would include such an item. Mr. Hempsey believes not. In any event the school will be finding funding to replace the curtains (25 yrs old) and the request to fund means that monies can be dripfed. We do not need to come up with a single sum.

Two letters were produced from Renfrewshire Council, one refers to lottery funding, the other to “Awards for all Grants”. The secretary will investigate the availability of funds from these sources.

· Race Night – Following discussion agreement was reached on;
Sub-committee – Denise, Barbara, June McRae, Jane McGonigle (in absentia), Jean Hay.
Date - 2nd October 2004 : Saturday
Venue - John Fleming Bowling Club, Houston.
Ticket - £3

Raffle - Every PTA member to bring a prize on the night.

Sponsorship - £25 to sponsor a race and sponsors will be named on the website.

Outgoings - £235 to Red Box and £25 to the Bowling Club known to date.

It is generally accepted that this stands to be the biggest single income event of the year. To ensure this everyone is asked to put his or her efforts in to selling tickets. Ticket numbers are to be confirmed by 20th September 2004. Members were reminded that match funding is available via Denise and Pamela and the ABBEY bank to boost our profit margin.

· Fundraising ideas- General discussion took place on methods of fundraising. It was agreed that the decision not to appear at BOW or Houston Gala days was justified and would be maintained.
Long debate took place on an event, which would involve the children – no satisfactory conclusion was reached.
The reliable (and enjoyable) events will be race night, quiz night, Ceilidh/disco, 1st year disco. Mr. Hempsey assured the committee that the level of fundraising and donating undertaken was greatly appreciated by the school.

Quiz night – 20th May 2005 – Friday – 7.30- 11am. Ticket £3 to include nuts & crisps.

A letter has been received from the pupils going on the Team Challenge India trip asking for £138.12 to cover the cost of transport to their training weekend. It was decided not to provide any more funds as requests from individuals undertaking similar challenges have always been turned down in the past.

Susan McDonald passed on a message of thanks from Mrs Allison, geography department for the purchasing of maps and books by the PTA. These were purchased through Amazon, via the website, so also gained us commission.

Matters Arising

Race Night: Pamela said that the success of the race night was due to the hard work of the sub-committee before and at the event, £500 profit was cleared before the night.
