  1. AOB

 

As it was the first Trustees meeting since the AGM, a chairperson and secretary needed to be nominated. Rob and Lorna agreed to continue. They were nominated by Eleanor, seconded by Sue and voted in for another year.

 

It was noted that part of the fence was broken. John and Rob agreed to try to fix. Also it was reported that one of the security lights was frequently on – we need to keep an eye out for this and may need to adjust the sensitivity.

 

Action:John and Rob

 

It was reported that the Hall required extra cleaning and towel washing after the Tim Maddams evening. It was agreed to mention this if booked again, although we were told that extra money had been given for cleaning. It was agreed that we should check our conditions of hire, to make sure clear instructions are provided about cleaning/rubbish removal etc. It was decided to put this on the agenda for our next meeting. It was also decided that we should purchase some new storage boxes and label these at both ends to help with putting away crockery, cutlery etc. Carolyn agreed to look into this and get some if appropriate ones could be found. Action:Carolyn

 

It was agreed to get ‘thank you’ cards for retiring Trustees and a gift for Liz as she had been a Trustee for so long. Lorna agreed to get and send the cards, and Sue agreed to get some garden vouchers and a card for Liz.
