Floyd recommends comment one third is minimum required.
The committee were happy about the length of service
proposed for committee members as 3 years.
It was suggested that perhaps there should be a code of
conduct, or guidelines in case any committee members
brought the association into disrepute. Floyd suggested that the code of conduct could be in a
committee members pack, rather than in the constitution. There was agreement that examples of unsuitable
behaviour, and disciplinary procedures should be documented, and
made available for members to view, but would not be for public
information.
George said there are a number of people who wish to
join the association. They
are looking to see how things progress.
Our business professionalism needs to be raised, for
instance: Standards for
Caterers needs to be raised.
CCC needs to incorporate rules which must be adhered to in
order to remain members.
Committee members who miss meetings must send
apologies. It is
expected that members will make most meetings.
Consecutive meetings missed, that person’s place on the
board will be called into question.
Bilal objected to the number of meetings missed being put
into print.
The Chair, Vice Chair and Director could be
responsible for dealing with disciplinary matters.
We would at a later stage consider drafting a code of
conduct for the wider membership.
Identifying
with CCC
Orland suggested that CCC members should wear
a pin or brooch with CCC logo.
Members should also indicate that they are part of CCC on
business stationary such as letter heads, business cards or
publicity material,
Business
Link for London Support
Vernon Barrett of Business Link for London Knowledge
Centre was in attendance.
He was given an opportunity to speak to the committee.
He represents the arm of business link which looks at issues
affecting minority owned businesses in London.
Ethnic food is one of the areas they are investigating and
supporting. They
want to encourage profitability in this sector.
The community as a whole would benefit from increased
business in the Caribbean Food and Drink Sector.
Business Link would be prepared to fund a brochure
for CCC, to be given out as an introduction to CCC and to Caribbean
Food.
Public
Sector/Corporate Catering
A client had said to George, your food has been
around a long time, but no one seems to be pushing it and promoting
it. He said we
needed to target the councils, and corporate businesses.
Richards said many people were making inroads in these areas. Once a foothold had been found in one local authority,
then other clients followed.
CCC would aim to get additional business for its members.
Vernon suggested that there needed to be an
understanding of how public sector contracts are secured.
Business Link has held seminars which inform how procurement
works. It
was suggested that Business Link needed to use consultants who
understand the wider issues regarding Caribbean Food.
Richard was able to recommend someone.
Sheldon said if Caribbean Food
is to be taken seriously in the mainstream,
we must have certain accreditation in place.
Concentration
of Restaurants
When looking for an area which has a concentration of
business serving Caribbean Food,
there is none which is the equivalent is to Banglatown in
Brick Lane or China Town in Soho.
Even Brixton cannot be classed as having a concentration of
Caribbean Restaurants/Take Aways,
since there is one restaurant,
and half a dozen Take Aways.
Community
Support
Bilal said that those communities had a support
structure, which we have not built up yet.
A successful New York model might not work here because there
is a different attitude.
He felt that black people do not support each other in the
UK. People should
be ensuring that their guests are entertained in a black owned
restaurant.
