Minutes of
previous meeting were agreed and signed.
Treasurer's
Report KC
presented Annual Accounts to the committee which were duly adopted and signed
by both KC and SV. KC expressed concern that profit for the year was down 50%
to around £1000, mainly due to the loss of the playgroup. However this meant the Hall was still more
than covering its costs although if we decided on any major projects it would
mean a big increase in effort to make fundraising events more lucrative. Two Hundred Club draws were made, as always
results to be put in parish mag.
Correspondence The Public Entertainments Licence had been
received although certificates for the small appliance testing and that for the
main electric system had not been received, SV to forward to Mendip once
available.
Maintenance
Due to need to discuss Big Band Concert maintenance was not covered, following
items are as October minutes. 1) SV still waiting for Paul B to carry out work
on kitchen strip lights. 2)Wire fence and concrete post removal, JP suggested
contacting Alan Bristow for help with this as Brian Loten unable to tension
fence if repairing/replacing second post, could also see if easier for him to
remove broken first one instead of Brian if this OK with both. 3) Vehicle
parked long term behind Hall, Committee agreed we need to talk to owners of
this and explain lack of room. SV to
put notice on asking them to contact her.
4) Some of spotlights over stage not able to turn off, SV to tell Paul
B.
