The Chairman informed members that the next meeting had been scheduled for Wednesday, 21^st October 2015 at 2.00 pm and would normally be held in the Clwyd Committee Room, County Hall, Mold.  However, during earlier discussions, it had been agreed that the meeting be held in a school in Flintshire.  The Challenge Adviser commented on the possible need to either move the meeting start time to earlier in the day or restrict the end time to no later than 3.30pm; the Chairman indicated that the start time should remain at 2pm and that the meeting would last for no longer than 1.5 hours.       

The Challenge Adviser agreed to contact with schools to establish a venue for the meeting; he suggested that he would contact Mold Alyn High School first.  Once the details were known, the Committee Officer would write to SACRE members to advise them of the meeting. 

Prior to the close of the meeting, the Chairman extended an invitation to all those on SACRE to attend a Special Celebration on 15^th July 2015 at 1.30 pm to mark the end of the 60^th anniversary year of St. Richard Gwyn High School.  A Mass would be taken by the Pope’s Representative in the Court of St. James; this was a significant event in the life of the School. 

Reverend Huw Powell Davies also commented on a joint service that was being held at 6.30pm on Sunday 21^st June 2015 in the Kings Christian Centre to celebrate the works of the Agathos Trust.

The Chairman drew the member’s attention to the holding of the Urdd in Flint High School in May Bank Holiday half term in 2016 and suggested that this be included as an agenda item at a future meeting.  Reverend Powell Davies spoke of the involvement of Welsh Medium schools and learners in a service at the Urdd.
