    Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011

    We need to look at this in January ,that’s why I have put bank balance on the agenda ,we may be looking at setting budgets and appointing someone in a treasurer role for the future .
    I think the Hilton does us well we have a good relationship with them ,I have a problem with freeloaders who want to come along and enjoy our hospitality and then sit and talk all the way through peoples presentations and then slag us off…
    How we balance that with those that want to come along and see what we are about I’m not sure .
    We always steered clear of associate membership ,but we could consider asking ALL the trade stands to put into the kitty ?

    Ok, where to stay…

    Spoke to Lawrence, the choices are The Park & The Fenwick.

    A room for 2 nights B&B for 27th & 28th of Jan are:

    The Fenwick: £50
    The Park: £60

    Both myself & Lawrence are happy with the Fenwick, it’s better for ‘Chilling out’ in the evening, and has a buffet style breakfast. Also, the evening meals (Which will be paid for by the WTA) will be cheaper than The Park, so saves the WTA money too.

    Can we all agree on where to stay, then just ring and book your room 🙂

    The Fenwick: 01560 600478
    The Park: 01563 545999

    Jan 28th Ok for me.

    Either Hotel fine, as long as the fenwick have sorted their showers or should i say their dribble 😆

    In regards to agenda of suppliers as suggested the calibration of meters by ACT.
    I will be calling him for an update friday as i will be in the office to catch up with paper work, as i havent had chance to speak only confirmed with email todate.

    So how are we going to offer this to the members?

    1) on a first come first serve basis and wta pay all?

    2) at a reduced cost and wta cover the balance?

    They have said they will promote it by doing some flyers so need to give them plenty of time to put somthing together.

    Let me know please. ❓

    When you’re booking the Fenwick, ring them on the above number and quote my name for the small discount.

    I’ll be booking today, for the Thursday night & Friday night, means I’m up fresh ready for Friday.

    Stephen, can we hold off until the Jan get together regarding inviting Companies? That’s one of the things we have to sort, is the agenda. With extra time needed for presentations (DEG issue etc), we need to make sure we invite only the most needed / beneficial companies to avoid people turning up and not having time to present etc.

    Regarding meetings, I’m assuming Ian is still the man for bombarding Companies with delegate invites, so that’s that sorted.

    How’s about we ‘appoint’ a ‘Meeting Co-Ordinator’, that is responsible for collating a delegate list, that can be updated as and when people confirm attendance, and inviting and arranging trade suppliers, and other companies that want to attend in a ‘Non-Deligate’ position, i.e promote themselves or sell stuff! That way, we could be in a position the night before the meeting, to know EXACTLY who is coming, and give or take a couple, know EXACTLY how many people are attending.

    Even if we contact everyone with an ‘Official’ invite, stating a cut off for confirmations by Sunday 20th February if you get me?

    I’ll be asking every WTA member if they’re interested in attending anyway when I ring them all 🙂

    Just a thought

    Ade 🙂

    If Stephen wants to leave early enough, we could aim to get to Glasgow Airport for 2 maybe if you wanna hang about and have a coffee there?

    What time is your flight leaving Glasgow Saturday? If early, we can run you back too?
