1. Chair’s Review – We’ve had a wonderful year together, we’ve ran a Summer Camp and a Winter Camp (that became Spring Camp because the weather was so bad.)  The young women have represented us at a conference about Body Image in London. 
   We’ve continued work with our allotment project and have taken part in a really prestigious research project on Community Growing with Manchester University.  We started running weekly sessions and have run weekend trips around the North West.
   I’ve had a really lovely year and I’m really proud of our achievements and I hope you all are as well. – Claire H
2. Annual Accounts – Laura presented and explained the Annual Accounts, with all members receiving a copy, for the period 1^st April 2010-31^st March 2010 which were approved by everybody in attendance.
3. Appointment of Officers – Claire, Heather and Laura all stepped down from their posts in the management committee.  Claire was standing for re-election as Chair for the fifth time, Heather was stepping down permanently, Laura was stepping down as Treasurer and standing for the Secretary position and H was standing as Treasurer.
   Claire said goodbye to Heather and thanked her for all of her hard work while Laura and H gave their reasons for wanting to stand for the positions and explain what they could add to the project.Claire, Laura and H were asked to leave the room while the members of LIK:T voted. 
   All three received more “yes” votes than “no” votes so all three are now in position.
   Claire:  Chair in post.  Laura:  Secretary in post.  H:  Treasurer in post.
4. Any Other Business – There was no other business presented by the members of LIKT.
   Claire informed us that there had been a casualty on Summer Camp and that we had unfortunately lost a whole Mexican Pie to the cat.
5. Date and Time of Next Meeting – LIK:T will not be having a monthly meeting for August 2011, but there will instead be a consultation on the 10^th August 2011 which all members are invited to attend.
   LIK:T’s next AGM (Annual General Meeting) will take place at Summer Camp 2012.

The LIK:T biking project is going really well and the young women involved are starting to get really excited, especially as some of them were able to pick up their brand new bikes and equipment this Tuesday at the Young Women’s Session.

Sophie and her new bike!

Everybody is having an amazing time and have enjoyed really exciting things such as It’s a Knockout, Mexican Pie, Yoga, Hate Crime Workshops, Coming Out Poetry Workshops and so much more.

Can’t believe it’s the last day tomorrow, but I’m sure we’re all going to have an amazing time for the rest of Camp!

Bye for now, Laura C.
