Minutes of the 38th Annual General Meeting held at the Village Club, Allerton Road, Woolton, on Wednesday 27th October 2010 at 7.30 pm.

Treasurer), Ann Fearon, Jean Davies, Norman Callaghan, Les Baldwin, Brian Watt. Members and Visitors:- Ladies: M Condy, V Stott, J Earps, E Pimblett, A Hesketh, M McDonald, B Higgins, R Quine, O McDonagh, P McDonagh, M Aspinall, B Plent, A Lloyd, C Bennett, S Makin, L Chase, M Lowe, B Coppell.

The Chairman welcomed all present and commenced the business of the meeting using the published Agenda, having also read out the required Notice convening the meeting. A minor correction to this Notice was given, viz. that the address of the meeting venue should have read Allerton Road.

1 Apologies had been received or were announced from:- Committee: Meryl Kelbrick; John Hibbert. Others: Mr G Nickson, Mr A Gaskin, Renee Curran, Hilary Rock Gormley.

2 Minutes of the 37th Annual General Meeting held on 28th October 2009 and distributed in advance to all members, were accepted as a true record, on a show of hands. Two minor matters arising are referred to in 7 Any other Business below.

3 Hon. Treasurer’s Report. Audited Financial Statements for the year ending 31 August 2010 were distributed to all present. Charles Davies made appropriate comments on various items and compared these with values from a year ago. The substantial increase in Income this year arose from a generous individual donation, and monies received from various donors in memory of the late Janet Gnosspelius. Outgoings were reduced by virtue of the demise of The Civic Trust to whom we used to pay an annual levy. The Treasurer foresaw no need to change the level of membership fees in the near future. He is initiating action to recover money from HMRC via the Charities‟ Gift Aid scheme. Declaration forms had been sent to all members in the recent membership package and he encouraged all eligible tax payers to respond, and for members subscribing by Standing Order to ensure that their instructions to the Bank were for the correct, current amounts. At the request of the Chairman, the Treasurer is to thank the Auditors, Hamilton-Burke Dufau Ltd for their professional input, done under very favourable terms.

4 Chairman’s Remarks. Following established precedent the Chairman invited other officers of the Committee to make statements in their respective spheres, as follows:-

(i) The Hon. Secretary (Henry Stott) advised that the Committee had met 7 times during the year. These meetings are now held at the Elephant Hotel. The Society published 5 Newsletters in the same period, these now being edited by Jean Davies, in addition to arranging an excellent programme of Talks. We have lost the services of Martin Thompson as Newsletter editor and Membership Secretary, the latter role being filled on a temporary basis by Paul King. Thanks are recorded to Martin for his services to the Society over many years, and to all involved in the printing and distribution of the Newsletters. The last issue contained a tribute to the late Janet Gnosspelius – a founder member of the Society. In her will she bequeathed all her records and documents relating to Woolton to the Woolton Society. These have been identified and are in safe storage while the Committee considers how to deal with and secure the future of this extensive archive. The prospect of republishing the

2

“History of Much Woolton” is also being evaluated. The Secretary advised that no progress whatever had been made by Council officials in the preparation of an Advisory Leaflet for the Woolton Conservation Area, now 4 years overdue from its original target. The economic climate will probably mean no progress in the foreseeable future.

(ii) The acting Membership Secretary (Paul King) advised a current membership total of 203. Our records are under constant review, requiring liaison with the Hon. Treasurer regarding payment of fees and members‟ Bank standing order arrangements, together with the organising of Newsletter distribution lists for our band of volunteer distributors.

(iii) The Environment Secretary (Meryl Kelbrick) submitted a report which, in absentia, was presented by Paul King. The Society‟s dealings with the Council‟s planning and conservation department had needed some 30 formal letters, visits to Millenium House, and numerous emails and phone calls. Emphasis is currently focussed on the William Hill application re the former Calvert‟s shop, and the unsightly security measures at the Coach & Horses building. The Secretary had reported in detail on our problems with both these items in the recent Newsletter. Help has been offered to St James‟ over their application to erect suitable railings to the boundary wall of the Church Hall. An appeal was made for anyone with tree expertise to help with the Society‟s responses to applications for tree pruning and/or felling – a genuine conservation concern in leafy Woolton, and also for photographs – old or new, to build up a reference archive to assist in this area of the Society‟s activities. Finally, moves are afoot to add the names of local professionals, such as Architects and Surveyors, to our official letter heading, as “patrons”. Paul King reported briefly on the current situation with developments at which appeared to show that, although progress is slow, adequate measures are being taken to secure the integrity and security of this Grade I listed building.

The Chairman thanked the individuals for the above reports, and the Committee at large, in which all undertake their separate duties to form a very effective team.

5 Election of Officers. Chairman The current Chairman, Edith McGlashan, was willing to continue and was duly re-elected. Vice-Chairman Paul King was willing to continue and was duly re-elected. Hon. Secretary Henry Stott was willing to continue and was duly re-elected. Hon.Treasurer Charles Davies was willing to continue and was duly re-elected.

All the above were subject to formal propositions, duly seconded, and approved without opposition.

6 Election of Members of the Executive Committee. The four members retiring under Rule 7 of the Society‟s Constitution were named as:- Ann Fearon, Brian Watt, Meryl Kelbrick and Les Baldwin. All were willing to serve and were formally re-elected without opposition.

7 Any other Business (i) After informal contacts with the applicant‟s Agents, the proposal for an Italian-style Pizza Restaurant was discontinued. (ii) There are now no clashes between dates of Woolton Society Meetings and those of the Woolton Village Residents Association.

The Madam Chairman thanked everyone for their attendance and closed the formal part of the meeting at 8.15 pm. There followed an illustrated talk by Clara Paillard on the pursuit of local history, based on a recent presentation made to the Friends of Reynolds Park.

Please bring these minutes if you plan to attend the AGM on October 26th.

Society News Diary Date The last meeting of 2011 will be on Wednesday 23rd November, when Anthony Moscardini will be Looking at Liverpool: an urban design study. Anthony Moscardini studied at the Glasgow School of Art & at the School of Architecture before working in local government, private practice & The New Towns & Planning Inspectorate. He has written & illustrated several books on architecture & heritage, including one on Woolton & . He is a long term Woolton resident, & a former committee member of the Woolton Society.

Meeting of September 28th Our speaker on Wednesday 28th September was Kerry Peacock, horticultural manager of Woolton in Bloom. She gave an informative & entertaining talk on the challenges of preparing Woolton for the visits of the Royal Horticultural Society judges in our Britain in Bloom & North West in Bloom bids. The Woolton Society has given a donation to WIB funds.

Subscriptions & Gift Aid After discussion in committee, the Society has decided not to raise the level of subscriptions this year. However, it was decided that those members who require a postal delivery of the Newsletter will pay an extra £2 per year to cover postage and envelope. Please amend your payment accordingly to ensure that you continue to receive your newsletter and maintain your membership. All subscriptions are due in October. Subscriptions are as follows: Adult (single) £6 Senior/student (single) £4 Adult (joint) £9 Senior/student (joint) £6 Plus £2 in all categories for postal deliveries. If you do not pay by standing order, you can renew your membership by completing the renewal form on page 11 as per the instructions on the form. It would greatly assist the administration of the Society if all members would consider going over to standing order and, of course, it is easier for you as a member to have your subscription automatically renewed. Gift Aid enables us, as a registered charity, to reclaim tax on subs paid, with no cost to the member. We urge all members to fill in a Gift Aid form if you have not already done so, form available on page 12, at all meetings or from the Treasurer.

Membership Secretary Our new membership secretary is Mrs Marie Whitty. All queries & correspondence on membership issues should be sent to [email protected] or via our PO Box address on the front cover.

Newsletter We are investigating the possibility of sending out the newsletter by email at some point in the future. If you would like to receive your newsletter by email please email the membership secretary stating your preference. Newsletter 321, delivered in early December will be a Christmas special, with features on local traders & activities, as well as our usual features. There will also be a Woolton Quiz!

Farmers Market The Society took a stall at the Farmers market in September, resulting in 16 new members, & 1 renewal of membership. We welcome our new members, who are paid up until October 2012, & hope to see them at our meetings. We are considering taking a stall at the Farmers Market as an annual event for the Society, as so much interest is generated in our activities, & each year we recruit many new members.

4

September would seem to be an ideal month for this venture, as subscriptions can be renewed at the same time.

Win a Culinary Experience in Woolton! The Woolton Society‟s Meryl Kelbrick is organising a prize draw, with all money going to the Save the Pool fighting fund. Prizes include meal vouchers for two at many of the Village‟s restaurants. Participating restaurants are:

Woolton News

Woolton Baths Listing Application: snail-like progress..... and other news Sarah Charlesworth, Assistant Designations Officer (North), English Heritage, has received our Application and conducted her visit a week or so ago. A copy of her initial descriptive report about the building has been received, enabling us to make corrections and additions. Copies have also been sent to senior Liverpool City Council officers, as current owners of the building, also to Dr Ian Dungavell, Director of the Victorian Society who had sent in his own comments. The final report will then pass through several processes within English Heritage and Department of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) before we receive a result - i.e. listed or not. We are unlikely to hear before the end of the year; this is because there is a huge backlog of other applications, and some, where the buildings are at immediate risk of demolition are always the priority, so we must patiently wait in a queue.

In the meantime we are working towards developing a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) Application and a business plan for the management and operation of the building as a Pool again. Appropriately trained Woolton Residents Association members have already, with the agreement of the City Council, weed treated the part of the external structure where you might have noticed a weed „forest‟ had started to grow, thereby risking further damage to the structure. More recently a small volunteer working party cleared the resulting organic and other debris from the rear yard which is now ‟clean as a new pin‟.

Volunteers Save Woolton Pool Fund is looking for more volunteers of all kinds to assist with their special professional expertise and/ or their skills, energy and enthusiasm. The volunteer database to which people gave in their names with offers of help is currently being developed so we can draw on a wider pool (no pun intended!) of people with time, specific skills and enthusiasm to assist in different ways. PLEASE ADD YOURS! [email protected] or drop a note to SWPF c/o 63 Allerton Road, Liverpool L25 7RE, just opposite the Library.

Fundraising for the Baths Fundraising continues with a planned Quarrymen gig towards the end of October; look out for details and buy your tickets soon – it‟s a good cause and should be good fun too!

5

There is also the Woolton Society‟s brilliant idea of a raffle based around meals donated by local restaurants. Details at the top of page 5! We still need to raise funds towards securing the Pool‟s future - so more active fund raising like this is needed! Please let us know your ideas and how you plan to carry them out. Is there a fairy godfather or mother - a local modern philanthropist who wishes to make an even bigger contribution towards securing the future of the building? Holbrook Gaskell, a Widnes Industrialist who lived in Woolton Woods had both the vision and the means to generously fund the original building for the benefit of the local community - would someone of equal generosity like to echo this today?

Memories and Memorabilia We are also keen to capture memories, photos etc about the Baths and any aspect of Woolton history. When you are clearing out the attics and cupboards, please keep or pass them on to us for a living history project about Woolton Village which is emerging as a result of the varied and fascinating historical information which started to emerge during my Listing research. Please contact friends and relatives who have moved away nationally and internationally- their reminiscences could be just as important. The late Janet Gnosspelius‟ Woolton archive should also prove to be a rich resource.

Baths update by Sue Carmichael

2013: A future celebration? 2013, the 100th anniversary of Much and Little Woolton joining Liverpool from Lancashire in 1913 is fast approaching; it will surely be a great opportunity for looking back and understanding how the village and its community evolved and also looking forward to its future.

Woolton Library update Progress has been slow during the summer and there is no definite news to report on the future of the library.

The Library Consultation Survey The Library Consultation Survey results have been made public and can be found in full if you log onto: www.liverpool.gov.uk/images/librarybudget.pdf. ;

Councillors seem pleased with the survey results and think it demonstrates "the high level of interest and support that the community has for our Library Service."

The most striking outcome is that a majority of 77% of respondents have opted to keep libraries open, but on fewer selected days, rather than close libraries outright.

The response to library volunteers is interesting. Relatively few respondents (1 in 5) actually wanted to get directly involved in volunteering. The majority disagree with general volunteering or running the library as a member of a volunteer board. However, respondents seem evenly split regarding volunteers running events & activities in libraries. Perhaps the majority believe that libraries are likely to be safer, better operated and more financially secure in the hands of local authorities where residents have a measure of democratic control over the library service.

The results of the survey seemed promising and gave hope that there would be few outright library closures. The future of Woolton Library seemed rosier until the Culture & Tourism Committee meeting of September 20th.

6

Culture & Tourism Select Committee The Committee met on Tuesday 20th September. Councillors Eddie Clein and Barbara Mace put down a motion:-

"That Committee notes the fantastic response to the public consultation held by the Council on the future of the Library Service. Committee calls on the Council to listen to the overwhelming support for library services from the public and do all it can to ensure that these well loved facilities are kept open in all areas of the city."

Ron Travis attended the meeting on behalf of the Save Woolton Library Campaign and put the following question to the Council:-

As part of the Libraries Budget Consultation Survey, 77% of respondents opted "to keep libraries open, but on fewer selected days" rather than "keep fewer libraries open" and 5355 local residents signed the Save Woolton Library petition strongly opposing the closure of the library. Will the Council take the views of the community into account by pledging to keep libraries open in the city even if this means a reduction in library opening hours?”

Councillor Wendy Simon replied saying that huge savings had to be made including big savings from the libraries budget. A Library Review would now be carried out to identify savings. The Council will be opening a new library in , the Library was being redeveloped and Larkhill Library will be moving to new premises in a local school, but the Council could not make a pledge that no library would close. Councillor Simon could not say when the Library Review would be completed and made public. From this it seems that the future of Woolton Library remains insecure. No assurances were given that it would remain open and it is unlikely that the Library Review will be made public until 2012. The fate of Woolton Library remains uncertain. All we can do is to keep opposition to closure alive and keep campaigning to keep the library open.

Woolton in Bloom The judging for North West in Bloom took place on 1st August. As yet we do not know the results, although the judges did seem to be favourably impressed by the stunning display of flowers in & around the village. WIB members have been invited to an awards ceremony in Southport on October 20th, when we hope to hear of another medal success. Full details & pictures in issue 321. Woolton in Bloom is entirely dependent on donations to pay for planting, & to this end works tirelessly with fundraising events & merchandising. The 2012 official calendar is now on sale at the Farmers Market, Brown‟s newsagent on Woolton Street, & at Daily News on Hunts Cross Avenue, price £4.50. WIB also has a range of notelets & Christmas cards with views of Woolton, bags, pens, key rings & teddy bears.

Friends of Reynolds Park The FROP have produced a CD of oral memories of two members who grew up in Reynolds Park. This project was in collaboration with Clara Paillard of Liverpool Museum who spoke to the Woolton Society last October on the pursuit of local history. The CDs are available from Geoff Kendall of FROP, 428 6409, priced at £1.50. The FROP Annual General Meeting will be on Wednesday 9th November, in Tesco‟s coffee shop at 7.00.

The Gateacre Society The Gateacre Society will be holding its AGM & History Quiz on Sunday 30th October at 2pm in Gateacre Chapel on Gateacre Brow. Refreshments will be available.
