8. Any Other Business

MB reported that the Insurance cover has been renewed for 3 years which entitled us to a good discount.  However Show Committee will have to insure separately for their Bonfire.

GO said that although she is happy to continue to do the gardening on the recreation ground, she is no longer prepared to cut the hedge.  She offered to forego her payment so that this can be given to whoever does the hedge.  The Committee thanked her for this.

SA reported that there is a lack of hot water in the ladies toilets on occasion.  AS to check.

TG reported that there is a lack of crockery in the kitchen.  40 of everything is missing which suggests someone has borrowed it and not returned it.  AS to check with Cricket Club in case it has accidentally been stored in the pavilion.

Steve Watts quote to repair Extractor Fans which have been broken by footballers is around £1,000.  MB to find out if this is covered by Insurance.
SW has repaired switch on field and outside lights.

CR has noticed damage to boundary walls due to frost etc.  AS to check if a grant is available to repair this.  Potholes in car park also need repairing.

Sue Hewer is ill and will be unable to work for some time.  Julie Blackwell has kindly agreed to cover for her until she recovers.  MB to send flowers and a card from the Committee.
