Treasurer’s Report
Little activity to report but KC reminded us that the accounts year
finishes on 30th Sept and all expenses etc need to be in by
then. It was noted only one hiring fee
received from bowls club, SV to ask CP to check if another invoice needs
sending. The 100 club draw was
made, winners were 1st Alan
Dagger, 2nd Tony Gould and 3rd Joan & David Pattison.
Correspondence
1)
Letter from Parish Council presented at meeting in connection with support of
scheme to set up village walk route, SV signed on behalf of committee. 2) e
mail from Mendip to make appointment with SV to inspect Hall re application for
premises licence. 3) Notification of
AGM from C.C for Somerset. 4) Advertising material from Go-Pack who supplied
table holder etc.
Maintenance 1) Paul B
intends to put in outside light for car park next week. 2) SV to chase Tarmac
re gravel yet again, contact is Gary Wason. 3) Western Power Distribution have
been out and checked pylon which they assure us is secure. They pointed out that gutter appears to have
been replaced with one slightly larger than original requiring it to bend round
pylon and make it look as if the latter is leaning on it which is not the
case. This tallies with work done when
roof replaced, no further action needed. 4) SV had reminded Brian Loten about
painting exterior side door near bar, will do eventually but very busy at the
moment. 5) TS had removed concrete post at side of hall.
Fund raising 1) Chris James concert:- tickets given out to
committee members to sell. SV going on
holiday but will liaise with committee on this when returns. GB to put posters up in village, Mells etc,
TS in Stoke and SV in Hall, pub and Tourist Info in Frome. SV to order beer from Rod, TS to arrange
other drinks with Dean at Stoke shop, GB to organise plougman’s, SV to assist
on day. Will have raffle Committee
members present all willing to contribute a prize plus SV to buy one if
necessary. 2) Big Band concert on Nov 26th still going ahead, no
details yet but JP asked that committee assist where possible when time comes.
AOB 1) Car Parking, TS
had received positive response from Paul Emery, PSO, who may assist us to find
out owners of long term parked cars in Hall car park. SV to put another note in magazine, last month’s not
published.
2) SV had had a meeting with Jan Robson re idea of
extension. JR gave a rough estimate of
£100 per sq metre for building costs, happy to do plans if we decide to go
ahead. TS to pace out possible site/s
to assess cost. SV noted that any
extension would either have to be large enough to house the Toddlers equipment
or for their shed to be moved. Would
need room for the Table Tennis tables but these could be put in the proposed
small meeting room most of the time.
3) JR brought up separate issue at meeting with SV,
suggested we should get a CCTV surveyor to check pipework leading away from
Hall towards drain in Bellfield. Some
years ago this was blocked and had to be cleared by R Dunn. Work done at the time appears to have sunk
slightly and JR felt a check every few years was a good idea to make sure it
was in good order. SV to get quotes.
Next meeting, Tues
