Disgrifiad

Minutes from the Meeting of Charles Street Arts Foundation Committee held on 14 August 1990.

Items in the first page of these minutes include those present, apologies and accounts. There followed a discussion of the Carnival held on 21 July 1990. This included concern that the inflatable was inadequately supervised, and it was proposed that Nursery Nursing Examinations Board student nurses might be invited in the future to look after the children.

The second page of these minutes discusses involving other neighbourhoods and community centres and includes a proposal that Volunteers Week could run at the same time as the Festival. The Charles Street Arts Foundation Annual General Meeting, set for 2 October 1990, “should be devoted to the future proposals with a presentation from Mrs Rainbow”. Ian Horsburgh, who had founded the organisation, was not prepared to be nominated for Chairperson and a new secretary would be required.

In June 1977, Cardiff Community Concern started the Charles Street Carnival as a community groups' alternative celebration of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. This became an annual event and grew into a separate organisation, Charles Street Arts Foundation. The Foundation came to employ artists and staff but was founded and run by volunteers. Cardiff Community Concern, also founded and run by volunteers, was an alternative advice and information centre for young people, based in 58 Charles Street.
