Minutes of previous meeting

The only query was regarding the minutes was from D Mc regarding the last paragraph of the previous meeting minutes. D Mc asked if there had been a vote on this subject. CB told him there had not been on that evening but was the general feeling of the committee from earlier in the year when the village hall committee got dragged into the issue of two bowling clubs using the village hall.

CB proposed the minutes and AT seconded the minutes.

Items Arising.

At the previous meeting the heating system was making a lot of noise. PN told the committee he was with the heating engineers when they came to fix it. They were on site for approximately 2 hrs. While the engineers were on site PN asked them if obtaining parts for our boilers was still easy. They informed PN that the village hall boiler was a standard boiler for village halls and that parts were easy to obtain. CB thanked PN for helping out.
