PW
asked if Buffs can convert the alcove in upstairs meeting room into a display cabinet.  This was OK’d by Committee.

Upstairs window was broken by a football last week and although the carpet has been thoroughly vacuumed glass fragments still remain.  PW to organise replacement carpet.  Window has been repaired but it is recommended that all windows be changed to double glazed units at some point.

SW has been advised that an adder was spotted in the bike trail area.  She asked if a sign should be put up.  It was felt that this wouldn’t help as snakes have been seen in various different locations around the village.

Parish Council have done a risk assessment and highlighted the trees at the rear of the rec needing attention.   They also asked who empties bins on the rec  (Hall Committee).

CR asked if he could arrange removal of the Sycamore tree which borders his property and replace with something else.  CR to speak to LR.
