7. Correspondence

8. Any Other Business
Louise Roberts has asked if the Committee would allow the Hall to become a venue for Guide/Brownie “Camps”.  This would mostly be at weekends and involve sleepovers in the Hall.  The Committee were in favour in principle but would like more information.  LR to let us know what other venues charge.

NF has looked at the bin on the Rec and thinks it will be ok if we use bin liners, rather than having to replace it.

NF commented on the untidy appearance of the Car Park and suggested a tidy up of moss etc.  He also felt the disabled access handrail is an eyesore, but we do not have the funds to finish it off.

AS suggested another Breakfast fundraiser.  We will hold this on 20 June which is Father’s Day.  MB to put this in Parish Mag.

As we still need to raise more money, PW suggested a Comedy Evening.  He will get prices for this.  TG to provisionally reserve Hall for 26/6/10 and 10/7/10.

TG advised that we need to mark out the disabled parking space and CR suggested we also put a notice on the wall.  PW offered to supply paint.

10. Date of next meeting
The next meeting will be held on Monday 14 June 2010 at 7.45pm.

There being no further business the meeting was closed at 2045hrs.
