Kit Committee 21 November 2008

We looked at the blog but there were no comments made from any of the tourists or parents. All the party had been emailed with the link. There is only £850 in the fund raising account and anyone who has not yet made their payment of £50 from their individual fund raising must do this immediately.

Final decision following all the recommendations of the committee to be made Friday 28 November 12.40 M4. This meeting is open to all to attend.

Reminder that all final payments are now due!

Kit Committee 14 November 2008

The feedback from girls, parents and staff was discussed. The following needs to be considered:

• budget after equipment is limited
• to buy full separates is a waste since all players have senior kit
• the girls would like to have some playing kit with Barbados Tour and logo
• the item highest on all tourists list appears to be a hoodie!

Looking at playing kit there appeared to be four suggestions - shown in order of cost:

1. Senior kit that everyone already has, but add a white gilet that could be worn for school/club afterwards *
2. New navy skorts Barbados logo with current senior top and gilet (with or without velcro)*
3. Dress and shorts
4. New skorts and top

We have not priced up the gilet yet but a hoodie may only be possible with the cheaper options marked* so please consider this carefully.

Please give any opinions to your rep as we will be making a decision this week!

Next meeting 21 November 12.40 M4

Kit Committee 7 November 2008

A list was compiled of all the equipment that we would need to take on tour as this must be funded first. Mrs Davidson was congratulated on obtaining a sponsor for new gum shields for all hockey players on the trip (even if you may not play hockey out there) - the same firm may also provide practice netballs.

The current fund for the kit is only £650 and the committee were asked to remind their year group about the urgency for these payments. We cannot order any kit without the funds.

The debate of playing kit began with a variety of opinions expressed with a strong feeling that several had expressed the desire to be able to wear the kit after the tour. With that in mind the first kit we looked at was separates.

The next meeting was planned for 14 November and all members were asked to ask for feedback from their year group.

Summary of Meeting held 20 October 2008

The aim of this meeting was to collect in the fund raising monies that had not yet been paid in and to set up a small manageable committee to plan the kit and equipment needed for the tour. From this whole group meeting, a Kit Committee was set up with two representatives from each year, one from each sport.

Several payments from September were still outstanding.

Date of the first Kit Committee Meeting Friday 7 November 2008

Summary of Meeting held on 3 July 2008

A decision was made at this meeting that in order to fund any tour kit, individuals would need to raise a minimum of £50 over the summer through their own fund raising.

Notices were posted around the building advertising the meeting in the same places. The decision was also posted immediately so that all girls who had not attended the meeting would know the target for the summer holidays.

Summary of Meeting held on 30 April 2008

The purpose of the meeting was to welcome everyone to the tour! It is very important that everyone attends the meetings to express their view and also if room groups, kit or any other administration is needed it can be dealt with quickly. Many of the groups expressed the idea of tour kit - this is not included in the budget and if we were to get different kit, we would not need tracksuits or jackets etc due to the climate we are travelling to.

The meeting was advertised on posters around the building.
