The PFA now has a full list of members of 15 (KL). We already had 11 confirmed, following the last meeting, and there were further confirmations following (from JS, AT, KA, and Philip S). The confirmed membership list is as it stands:

Laura C, Ellie M, Toby F, Rachel D, Tracey D, Mandi W, Sarah W, Katherine L, Geraint R, Jo R, Amy M, Joanna S, Katie A, Andrea T, Philip S.

Agreed to put the members list up at school. TF/EM and JR to action that.

There was a brief discussion around minimum attendance, and that members should be able to commit (GR), but that any parent can attend meetings (AM).

There was a discussion that the core group of officer bearers should meet monthly, and other meetings with all members as best works for everyone.

3. PFA Constitution

The PFA officer bearers are updating this currently, from an old version (JR/EM). Now we have the new Chair and Vice Chair, the office bearers will meet mid November, and it will then be circulated for all the PFA members to review (AM/TD).
