7. Correspondence
None.
8. Any Other Business
John Otley has asked that his name be removed from mailing lists as he is no longer PC representative.
Parish Council have asked for a socket to be fitted outside the kitchen window. This request is thought to have come from the Show Committee. Hall Committee were in agreement if it is safely sited (away from the tap) and we do not have to bear the costs. FS to ask LR why the request was made.
PC also asked if the tap on the corner of the Rec works – TG confirmed that it does. They also asked who empties bins on Rec. FS to advise that it is the Hall Committee (NF).
TG reported that Nicola Kendall has booked the Hall on Sunday for a band practice. She has requested that this be free of charge and in return her group will perform at a Fundraiser for us. This was agreed by the Committee. It was suggested that something be arranged for January 2011.
TG wants to give up his role as Bookings Secretary. He is happy to stay on the Committee and hold keys for the Hall and help with the Playground. AS thanked him for all the work he has done.
The Show Committee paid us £140 for use of the Hall over Show weekend. It was felt that they had underestimated the amount of hours they used the Hall and should have paid more. CR to discuss with Vicky.
TG advised that Beaufort House are due to pay for their annual parking and need to be contacted. There is concern that school staff also use the parking free of charge.
9. Date of next meeting
The next meeting will be held on Monday 11 October 2010 at 7.45pm.
