9. Any Other Business

Buffs want to secure the Buffalo Horns to wall after vandalism incident.  No objections.

Sue Webb asked if the dishwasher could be turned on and cleaned as it is full of dirty dishes.

TG reported that he has seen lights on in Hall late on Friday evenings when there are no bookings.  Badminton have been using the Hall without booking it.  AS to speak to Chris Chubb regarding this.  PTA were there till after midnight prior to their Xmas Fayre, again without booking.  AS suggested TG could phone Hall if he is concerned that lights are on when no-one is booked in.

It was suggested that we use plastic glasses to avoid problem on broken glass on floor following some functions.  MB to price.

SW feels that it is unfair that only 2 Committee members are often left clearing up Hall after functions.  This has been noted.
