CARISMA EGM 5 Feb 2002

• Annie has left and she is no longer the money collector, Robin T. offered himself as a possible candidate for the post. The majority of the members attending elected him as the new money collector. Robin will start his new task as from the next available lesson on 7 Feb 2002, Thursday.
• Massimo pointed out the various cash flow problems involved in people delaying or forgetting to pay on time their fees. He also suggested that for most students a standing order could be paid to the club's bank. Most members agreed with the idea. During his presentation he explained in detail the fact that since CARISMA is a non-profit making organization the excess of cash will be used for social entertainment for the benefit of all members, but at the same time we cannot risk having the club go bankrupt because of late payments.
• Massimo pointed out various disciplinary issues: even if CARISMA is not meant to be a traditional martial art club greater attention must be paid in the general running of classes. Massimo asked for everybody's collaboration to ensure smoother classes with less disturbance and interruptions.
• A short conversation about training weekend abroad has been started but no decisions were taken at this point in time. The possible destinations mentioned were Holland visiting Margie and Barcelona.
• Massimo officially announced the AGT (Annual General Training). This is to occur on the weekend of 27-28 April 2002. The aim is for this to be even better than before and with a greater participation of members.
• Massimo pointed out the possibility of attending the Another Way Team AGT in June and most people were interested. The estimated date for this event will be the weekend 22-23 Jun 2002. An interesting number of students were keen to attend.
