ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Hinutes of the rege Gmnaral evs of the dulsemel Guild of B.C. bald at 1359

The meeting was called to order at 8 pe. by Tam Irving, President and Chair,
with approximately thirty members in attendance.

Moved by Anna Sjarmason and seconded by D’arcy Margesson that the Minutes
cf the AGM held on January 25th, 1992 be adopted as read. Passed.

Matters arising from the 1992 AGM Minutes: It was noted that the interest
in a joint CCM! Potters’ Guild exhibition in 1993 expressed at that seating
by Tarry Lewis, represanting the Canadian Craft Museum, was about to bacone
4 reality in May with the opening of “Jugs: Pitchers, Dippers and
Metaphors".

President's Report: Tam presented information further to bis Annual Report,
attached to Agenda amd which had also been reproduced in the Jamuary and
February newsletters, specifically:

(a) the amaigamation of the Gallery and Marketing committees, with Karstl
Krug and Predi Rahn co-chalring the revised Gallery committee, partly In
recognition of the need to increase the marketing of the Gallery itself;

(b) discussions presently underway about holding an annual sale which would
ba open to the entire pembership, to help re-establish contact between
peabers, and with fund-raising purpose as well, with the Oregon Potters’
Association's annual May sale as a successful example to investigate;

ic) the strong response to the call for entries in the juried "Jugs"
exhibition, with 65 applications, a few being from as far away as
Saskatchewan amd Alberta, John Chalke from Calgary will be juror, and
although there are no prizes, it is hoped that funds will be found to permit
the production of a small catalogue; and

{d) the reasons for seeking charitable status were reviewed. Still waiting
to hear From Revenue Canada regarding the application for charitable status;
in the maantige, Caro] Mayer had called a meeting of tha potential board of
the Caramic Foundation.

Treasurer’s Report: with 1992 Financial Statements in hand, the Treasurer,
Kerst! Krug, noted that Gallery sales had dropped significantly in 1992 (by
approx. 12 t), with Guild and Gallery expenditures dropping at a lesser
rate. The Finance and Gallery committees will be looking to increase
Gallary sales in the coming year, and will continue to keep a close eye on
expenditures as well as income. Jam Kidnie added several comments, pointing
out that although December “92 sales were up by # ¢ over December 91, the
remaining term deposits should oot be used, and are in any case
insufficient, to help cash flows through the first half of 1993, a5 they did
in 1992.
