7. Treasurer’s
report
August income lower than rest of the year, as expected.
There were fewer events and not all clubs meet in August. No significant
concerns about budget or accounts at this point. The new two-year contract for
supplying gas is expected to give a saving of £1400 per annum.
8. Power supply & energy update
Planning
application to go to committee on 24th October. The application is one of several being
submitted for listed buildings. Waiting for outcomes of that decision before deciding
on suppliers of batteries. Hall users have been asked to make their views known
about the planning application on NCC planning portal.
9. Development Plan
Plan up to date; no further work to be completed this month.
10. Village
Shop use of kitchen
Members of the shop committee are looking at three
options, to enable them to provide fresh sandwiches and scone for sale in the
shop. One of the options is to hire the hall
kitchen so that they could produce their own supply. They would put in a new lockable
refrigerator for their sole use and would hire the hall for around an hour a
morning for three or more mornings each week.
Agreed:
This would be treated as a normal hire.
Action:
JM to report back to group
11. AOB
Church would like to hire the village hall for two
services each month during the winter.
Agreed:
This would be treated as a normal hire.
Action: JM to report back to the Church Warden
A question was raised by a member of the art group serving
teas in the supper room about whether an electric fly killer was needed where
food was being consumed. Current hygiene regulations expect this provision in
areas where food is being prepared, but not where it is being consumed.
Action:
KM to report back to the art group member
PD serviced the water heater and discovered it needed
descaling and a new filter.
Agreed:
PD to replace the filter and complete descaling
