Following items were discussed and agreed:
Welfare of all members and families checked and confirmed.
Rakesh confirmed our standing balance at £7245/-
Nine members have so far contributed the £200 each towards NOBA CHARITY exclusive fund as agreed at our last monthly meeting.Pandeya ji has contributed £200 extra in Gayatri bhabhi's name, this has to be looked into.
Rakesh put forth his view clearly about structured planning to make sure our charitable donations are sustainable in the future rather than only ad-hoc actions. It was generally accepted that we should try to evolve such a structure over the next few months but also be prepared to take urgent action in case of perceived genuine need.
An urgent WhatsApp message will be circulated asking for contributing for such needs rather than dipping into our meagre basic funds as a first resource.
NOBA UK officers have been authorised to make up to about One lac Indian Rupees equivalent from our basic finds so that a respectable amount can be disbursed as needed and later ratified by the general body.
We also talked about birdwatching. Pandeyaji agreed to post his bird photos on WhatsApp group every week.
Next meeting is scheduled on Sunday,1st August 7 pm
