TV licence for MH.
by Vicki May 18, 2023

May 18, 2023

Dear all. We have had a letter from the TV Licensing body warning us that we are being investigated because we have a TV but no license which is correct. We (Quakers) only use the TV for blended meetings on zoom so a TV license is not needed and at the time we got it (during the pandemic) there were no groups coming into the MH. Now we have various groups coming in and have no idea what they may be watching on it. I would be grateful for the thoughts of others. Is it enough to put a sentence into our hiring agreement and a notice on our telly and will this cover us? Many thanks, Vicki Ross Warden. Taunton Quaker Meeting

Corporate Memory Webinar
by Wendrie Heywood May 12, 2023

May 12, 2023

Hello Friends, We're holding a webinar on 'Corporate Memory' on 31st May. This is aimed at Trustees, but also volunteers and committee members especially Premises. We want to give a space for people to share good practice, what tools they've found that worked for them, share the free versions of the tools Mindful Business Services (MBS) recommends with tips on how to use them (which includes the Meeting House handbook from Quaker.org.uk) and then tell people about the accompanied courses we're launching. Accompanied here, means you commit to creating your operations manual, or corporate memory plan and then have regular check ins and mentoring within a group. All the details and the link to book a free ticket in our newsletter which was sent out this week. If you didn't get a copy you can read it here: https://buff.ly/3VRcNGG You can sign up to get the newsletter on our website, linked below in my signature. Yours in peace, Wendrie Heywood she/her MindfulBusinessServices.com Book a meeting with me <https://calendly.com/mindful-business-services> Yours in peace, Wendrie Heywood she/her MindfulBusinessServices.com Book a meeting with me <https://calendly.com/mindful-business-services>
