No Ratifications
3. Proposals
3.1 The Company Secretary proposes the Board accept the amended booking policy sent to list on 13th April.
3.2 The Treasurer proposes that we allocate a budget of £15 per month for a new accounting system and to commit to up to a year (£180) if required or is cheaper.
Rationale: The current system is not fit for purpose.
3.3 In accordance with the Bursary policy, the chair of the bursary committee proposes that the board approve the following terms for the allocation of bursaries for Autscape 2022:
Bursaries for Autscape 2022 will be:
- Available for all room types.
- Not be available to cover the extra night, apart from in very exceptional circumstances.
- Available for personal support workers without the need to justify this by financial hardship.
In most cases bursaries will be set amounts for approx 20 applicants of between £50 and £100
The bursary committee will also consider travel expenses as a reason for needing a fee bursary but it will not be able to provide travel expenses as a separate award.
Bursary applications must be made to the bursary committee before 12th June 2022 and before booking a place. All applications will be considered by the bursary committee on the same day and following the decision of the bursary committee people will be able to book.
3.4 Kalen proposes that when someone resigns, the person who is elected or co-opted to take their place has a shorter term to make up however long the other person had left.
Rationale: This way we don’t have half the board up for re-election some years and no one in other years.
