Subject: [Peashooter-list] AGM minutes
30/06/21
Cowfolk AGM
Apologies: Peace, Henry H, SFW, Jodie, Issey C, Ang, Angleo
Present: Linner, Kimmer, Soooooz, Ian Riddle, Colin, Sensi, Lewis, Kev, Eddie, Vic, Bex,
Julian, Amy, Rita the dog (hero supporter).
Opening rant from Eddie. He loves his mum.
Secretary: Linner actually made it this time.
Treasurer: Vic still not on the bank account.
Chair: Soooooz all over it.
No minutes from last meeting as Linner was napping.
Actions from last meeting: setting up bank account deets. See above. We need to set up
Vic asap. Paypal discussed but they’ll take a fee. Need to update so that we can online
bank.
Sharing photos. Where? Googledrive? Ongoing saga.
Nominations for very important positions of power – none.
Soooooz remains chair, Linner remains sec, despite (or, perhaps, because of) being shite.
Vic remains treasurer. She will start soon haha.
Anti-transphobic – add to constitution? Should we have loads of ‘anti’ in there? Can we
call it ‘inclusive’ instead? Eddie to write something for the next meeting. We need to
not make phobics the norm. There needs to be no doubt of our standing. Anti is different
from not. Eg anti racist is not non racist. Colin made some good points and Eddie
CHANGED HIS MIND!
New kit – Cowboys meeting next week. Possible new sponsor. Can we do it internally
rather than looking for new companies? Can we keep The Plough on our kit without asking
them to pay? All down to loyalty. Talks to continue…
Kill the Bill Tournament. Political action. Mixed tourney in London. SFW coordinating
teams (mixed). 31st July. Same weekend as big Cowgirl cycle. Needs promoting. Teams to
guide members to Peashooter.
Last AGM: 30th anniversary tourney. Need a timeline. Difficult to organise with Covid.
Fundraisers tricky until we know restrictions and international shiz. Perhaps have a
local tourney if all else fails. 26th/27th/28th July 2022. Send a message out to full
network but with heads up that it may need to stay local. Bex hates us as she’ll be at
Womad that weekend. We, however, still love her.
Finance: money (£200) given to Danilo (Autonomous). See Peashooter for deets. £250 to
Jasp. Money for website. We’re balling it - £8,000 in bank account. We need to consider
each £250 as it mounts up quickly. Shall we put a limit on how many £200 we give away (as
it doesn’t need to be put to full club vote, decided by Cow-mittee)? Vic to keep her
beady eye on it. Can we set up a one-way messaging group? SFW totes defs sorting it,
even though not here to agree.
Zapatistas: Crowdfunder update. Kev has heard that they’ve had to scale it down for a
shit ton of reasons so won’t make it to UK. Hopefully there’ll be another wave where they
make it here, just not this summer.
CACKK: 9th-11th July. Just a camping trip, not a festie. See Peashooter for deets.
Saturday men’s sec needed. Step up! Julian made it to the meeting so is, therefore,
exempt.
Can we fundraise for Danilo? Would lobbying be more successful? Could Cowgirls’ cycle
ride donate? Sponsored stuff rather than parties. Fucking Covid. Up to individuals to
do different fundraisers rather than as a club (although we’ll all support).
Fitness for women who want to train privately: Cowgirls potentially can do once a month.
Linner to chase up details.
AOB:
Ride for Palestine. Need a volunteer to pick up bikes from London on 1st August, 6pm
(drive a van to and from London). 6 bikes. Put out to teams. Get in touch with Vic.
Can we coordinate with Kill the Bill tournament?
Netham: we will have a Cowfolk chat about it. We’ll have an EGM when the tender docs are
out and confirmed – depends what we’d be bidding on.
Puma protest 10th July outside Sports Direct in town. Contact Sensi or Soooooz to get
more info. Also see Peashooter.
Regular socials for Cowboys and Cowgirls to be discussed but also very much encouraged.
