Minutes of Previous Meeting

The minutes of the previous meeting were agreed to be a true record by the committee with the exception of the last item had not been completed.

 

Matters Arising

 

Induction Loop

PT showed the committee a diagram of how the induction loop would work within the village hall and the different rooms. PT explained the system we were looking at was top of the range which would suit a number of purposes i.e. hearing aids, back ground music able to play DVDs. The committee all thought that this would make the hall a more marketable commodity. PT is draw up a technical specification to go with the drawing.

PT suggested that we go out for two quotes for equipment only and an other quote to install the kit as well. PT thought the system could cost between £8-9000.

SS asked how are we going to pay for it? There is some money allocated towards it but we would be better informed once we had the quote in. The committee agreed for PT to go out and get the quotes in.

PT to proceed with getting the quotes in.

PT had contacted Mick Rampling via email to proceed with the work. Just a waiting a start dates.

AOB 

Car Park

RK has received the plans and needs to pass these on to PT and DB.

RK to organise a site meeting with a local contractor to discuss a quotation for resurfacing the car park. SW raised the issue of some funds, which had been received by the parish council for the sale of an allotment and was this money still available for car park improvements. KS said the fund was @ £13000 but at the moment the GOPC had the money allocated for an other project. The committee felt that a resurface car park would make the Village Hall a more marketable place.

RK to get a quotation and report back at the next meeting.

 

Deed of Trust

It was felt that the Deed of Trust needed updating in regard to the members user groups.  KS suggested that we take advice from YRCC. PT is to get in touch with YRCC.

PT & RK to draft up a letter for the next meeting. 

 

Ceiling

Kitchen

SW asked on behalf of the WI if we could provide a smaller boiler for tea making. SW reported back that a 2 gallon boiler would cost £128.00 + VAT.

It was proposed the SW to firm up a price and organise.

PT advised that he had been given a 2nd hand fridge for the village hall.  It would be written into the hire agreements that it was the users responsibility to turn the fridge on, and clear it after use.

 

Hire Agreement

We are unable to obtain electronic copies of the hire agreement. KS to take the original and scan it and forward it round the committee.

PT asked if we could all have a look at this and highlights key areas. At the next meeting we would discuss in more depth and move this forward.
