I will not be at Directors and am not sure I will be home for the August meeting so would like directors to consider the future of MIB and bring it up at the August meeting.
I personally think it is a very worthwhile community project that also raises our profile as well as potentially saving lives.
We are running out of MIB bottles, the police collected a box from me after the Ryedale Show where they were giving them out and ran out of stock.I spoke to both the Fireservice and the Ambulance Service at the Show and neither have many left.
This has left the Club with approx 120 bottles.
The Helmsley Pickering and Kirbymoorside surgeries are likely to ask us to give bottles out at their flu sessions in the autumn again and if we agree we will need at least 600 bottles.
A pallet of 32 boxes ( 2880 bottles )costs £650 + £60 postage
Individual boxes ( of 90 ) cost £25 per box + £10 postage , but they will send 2 boxes for the same postage
so 180 bottles would cost £60
I suggest we purchase 8 boxes for £240 with 2 stored in Helmsley, 2 boxes in Kirby and 4 stored in Pickering
It would obviously be better to purchase a pallet but we have the problem of storage. if we did this we could recoup some of the cost by selling boxes to the local Lions clubs as required.
If we are going to continue we will need to either print off or purchase replacement forms (£9 + pp per 100) to give out at the surgeries.
