drains, alarm, shutters, dishwasher in the bar etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The budget for 2026\/2027 relies on a significant increase in fees from sports sections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sports sections can help increase bar revenues\/profits by organising social events in the clubhouse, training bar volunteers and encouraging members to make full use of the clubhouse and bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The condition of the grass pitches in winter is a major concern to Lacrosse and Football &#8211; yet there is no quick fix<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destination Padel are progressing towards a planning application for 4 padel courts at Oakwood Farm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discussions continue with Wilmslow Sports in relation to joining Phoenix as a Constituent Section and potentially building a 3G pitch at Oakwood Farm (for football and lacrosse). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The AGM agreed in principle that Phoenix should pursue a path towards incorporation as a company\/charity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elected committee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following were proposed, seconded and elected\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Chair<\/td><td>David Clark<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vice-chair<\/td><td>Chris Hunter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hon Secretary<\/td><td>Jim Garside <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Treasurer<\/td><td>Chris Steiger<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bar Secretary<\/td><td>Rachel Chapman<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bookings Manager<\/td><td>Rachel Chapman<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>House Secretary<\/td><td>Guy Phillips<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Grounds Secretary<\/td><td><strong><em>Vacant<\/em><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social Secretary<\/td><td><strong><em>Vacant<\/em><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sponsorship Lead<\/td><td><strong>Vacant<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social Media Lead<\/td><td>Sophie Pearson<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The draft minutes and accounts from the Annual General Meeting are shown below.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who attended, please review and let Jim Garside know if you spot any errors or omissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WPSC-AGM-Minutes-15-Jun-2026-v0.3.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of WPSC AGM Minutes 15 Jun 2026 v0.3.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-4d1f7f21-7505-44d8-ae22-7f9771cad444\" href=\"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WPSC-AGM-Minutes-15-Jun-2026-v0.3.pdf\">WPSC AGM Minutes 15 Jun 2026 v0.3<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WPSC-AGM-Minutes-15-Jun-2026-v0.3.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-4d1f7f21-7505-44d8-ae22-7f9771cad444\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key points from the AGM: Elected committee The following were proposed, seconded and elected\u00a0 Chair David Clark Vice-chair Chris Hunter Hon Secretary Jim Garside Treasurer Chris Steiger Bar Secretary Rachel Chapman Bookings Manager Rachel Chapman House Secretary Guy Phillips Grounds Secretary Vacant Social Secretary Vacant Sponsorship Lead Vacant Social Media Lead Sophie Pearson The draft [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[6,9],"class_list":["post-246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phoenix-news","category-uncategorized","tag-agm","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=246"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":251,"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246\/revisions\/251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wilmslowphoenix.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
