Accounts

PF presented a statement of the organisation's finances and this was accepted by the meeting.

This year there will be no change to the membership cost but meetings and field trips will now both be charged at £1 for members and £3 for non-members. Membership nominally starts every March.

Annual summary

CB presented a summary of the events of the past year and plans for the future.

Our meetings have been well attended and we have made a programme of events for 2015. Field meetings have been successful, despite bad weather on some occasions. These meetings tend to alternate between sites relatively local to the Caradon Hill area and further away across Cornwall and beyond. The most well attended field meeting was also the most distant - a trip to Charmouth to study the fossils there.

Highlights this year will include a visit to the Camborne School of Mines and some geophysical research at Minions.

Election of committee members

PNJ explained the committee structure to the meeting. Some committee members have specific roles such as Secretary, but others may choose to be more flexible. There is no permanent Chair - that function is carried out by different committee members by agreement. We aim to have a committee of 7 with a quorum of 4.

The following committee members were re-elected: 

Peter Jackson              Secretary
Calum Beeson               Education and training officer
Pat Fitzsimmons            Treasurer
Tina Hitchings             Membership secretary

The following committee members are standing down, with thanks for their work over the past year: 

Brigitte Mann              Publicity officer
Helen Taverner

The following new committee members were elected: 

Anne Bolt                  Publicity officer
Bob Jay
