Hastings Congress (AE/ DE)
The Board noted that the Hastings congress have requested support in raising funds for this
year’s congress. The ECF has already published a request for support in the newsletter and
this will be extended to the web site and social media.
MP recommended that the ECF should provide some direct financial support given the
importance of the Hastings event but that this should be conditional on changes to the
Congress’s committee structure and operation, and the Congress raising funds by other
means as well.
It was agreed that the ECF should offer to provide a £5k donation to the congress for this year
contingent on £5k or more being raised by other means, with the donation also dependent on
the Congress taking actions to:
• implement a streamlined committee structure including a representative from the ECF;
• develop a social media presence;
• increase the level of female participation;
• actively seek new sponsorship arrangements for 2020 and future events.
I know that Hastings happen every year, but at the same time i do agreed with Malcolm comments, about the importance of the event, should the board focus on the british and british Rapidplay events, as hastings is not run as a ecf event??
