Grant has been received for £1800 from Community Chest. This will go towards tiling the corridor and foyer.
Some lads have been cycling up and down the banks by the entrance to the car park. We have asked them to use the bike track but they find the jumps too big down there. They have been advised that they may modify jumps to suit.
At function on Friday night, people were smoking outside and depositing cigarette ends and packets on the floor. Have a bin that needs to be affixed to wall.
Some bar stock was out of date and therefore we need to check more regularly.
The Show, in association with Wickwar Breweries, is holding a beer festival with bands on the Sunday following Show Day. Relevant licenses etc (Temporary Event Notice) have been obtained. Neighbours need to be notified. In future, Hall committee would appreciate being notified of any such events prior to organisation. Although the hall itself is not required, electricity will still need to be supplied. It was pointed out that a charge cannot be made to access the field, but will be ok to access the marquee itself.
We have new neighbours at Cropready. SW to write to them to welcome and mention beer festival.
