1.Apologies 
 Apologies had been received from:  Tim Spilsbury, Diana Porter, David Colwill, Caroline van den Berg and David Adams.   Andrew welcomed those present and in particular new Trustee, Christopher Samler who had been appointed in January 2023.   
2.Minutes of AGM held 25th March 2022 
 The Minutes of the AGM held on the 25th March 2022 had been circulated to the Friends ahead of the meeting.  At the time of the 2022 AGM Wentworth Jigsaw Puzzles were still unable to produce, but later in the year an order was placed for 80.  To date, we have sold 58 with one being given as a raffle prize to the PFA in lieu of charging us for a stand at its Christmas Fair.    The Blade Sharpening event took place on the 26th March and whilst money raised was less than in previous years, it was still a well worthwhile event.   The Minutes were adopted; proposed by Kathy and seconded by Tony.
