Mrs Lawrence drew everyone’s attention to the Auditor’s guidance which was circulated and explained the Auditor’s concern for a clear audit trail for funding of the Trust by the Council.  The Auditor had suggested:
•    A small group of Trustees to act as a management group dealing with day to day matters. 
•    The Trust should work to a budget (which should be set by the Finance committee and confirmed by Council) for next year.
•    The need to be clearer about the terms and aims of the Trust and the role of Trustees.
Trustees were advised that these issues would be considered at the next Council meeting.

There being no other business the meeting was closed at 9.10 pm
