4.1
The minutes of 17th Dec 2012 were agreed as a true record of that
meeting.
Matters arising:
4.2
Sir Deian Hopkin, President of the National Library of Wales, has informed
Robin of 2 meetings organised jointly by CyMAL (Museums, Archives and Libraries
of Wales) and the Lottery Heritage Fund to start discussions with organisations
and individuals in Wales on how to develop ideas, partnerships and events to
commemorate the First World War period and its effects on Wales.
We understand that both
events – to be held in Cardiff on 22nd January and Llandudno on 28th
– are full, but that a further event may be organised. Kay and Jane have been in touch with CyMAL to
express interest.
ACTION: We agree to contact Geraint individually to
request a further meeting and also to ask that Robin send a formal letter on
behalf of this group. We ask Robin to
ensure that this letter is sent to all members of this group.
ACTION: We
ask Kay to keep liaising with CyMAL, and report back by e-mail.
(Note that since this minute was written Robin has been able to attend
one of the CyMAL meetings in Llandudno, North Wales)
4.3
Constitution and Terms of Reference group.
It was minuted at our last
meeting that “We agree that the constitution and draft terms of reference group
doesn’t need to be set up until after the conference.” Marie voiced the opinion that it would be
good to be able to demonstrate progress towards a constitution by the time of
the conference, and that this would be encouraging especially for those who
have been disappointed and frustrated with relative lack of progress to
date. She therefore asked that this decision
be reconsidered.
This was discussed. It was agreed that a constitution is a legal
document, and that this will be drawn up by the Steering Group that is elected
at the conference, based on the information presented there.
ACTION: We ask the Terms of
Reference Group (Max, Tony and George) to draw up a draft
document outlining the purpose, structure and role of Academi Heddwch
Cymru and a remit for the Steering Group.
4.4 All
those who responded to the Petitions Committee consultation have been invited
to the conference where Marie and Jane had contact details. Marie circulated a list of those who
responded to the Petitions Committee and for whom we have no contact details as
yet, and asked for help from the group.
4.5 Tony
has sent a further synopsis of the responses to the Petitions Committee round
to the members of the group by e-mail.
4.6 Robin and Diana have suggested that the
conference could be filmed or recorded.
ACTION: Anne
agreed to look into this further and report back on possibilities.
