6 CHAIRMAN’s REPORT
JL informed everyone that together with JV he met with the ASC, Moira Waring and Harry Hedges. The ASC were in favour of constructing a hatchway into the hall. Quotes for this work were to be obtained
They confirmed that the cellar floor was to be raised and that they were intending of repairing the wall behind the bar which had become damp due to the faulty chiller, they had £1,000 put aside for this work. JL stated they had asked the ASC to obtain quotes for the work involved and to keep them informed, if costs were excessive then they would approach the Trustees to assist financially
It was reported that despite earlier claims HH had still not obtained the Licence Extention
They regarded this now as a priority.
JL stated he had met with the final access control company regarding our entry system. The meeting was encouraging. The system was the same as that being proposed by Defensor but their rep stated they would use the existing wiring and card reader. Hopefully this will reduce the costs. The rep had also suggested an ‘On/Off’ switch to replace the current key operated over-rides. These could be incorporated in any system and switched could be mounted in the hall, office and behind the bar.
The current abuse of the security system by user groups propping open the front door was a concern. One instance was reported that the door was still open when the ASC opened up long after any user group had departed.
ACTION POINT MB to write to User Groups offering them an over-ride key and warning them against leaving the front door propped open.
JL also stated he had met with the PC Clerk to bring a structured approach to the meetings with the BSBT. A meeting was scheduled for the 19/20 June.
7 TREASURER’S REPORT
JV stated that the donation from the Village Hall Trust Fund had been received, this had covered the first two cuts of he fields. The water bill had been received which was considerably higher due to the leak in the field after the Aldingbourne Alive Event. After taking into account all budgeted expenses the Charity had over £6,600 to use as it saw fit.
It was decided unanimously that an order should be placed to insulate the roof space and walls following the quote from Downs Insulation
ACTION POINT MB to write to Downes Insulation confirming the order for insulation
DL asked the Trustees approval to obtain quotes and go ahead with having the toilet doors in the changing rooms planned to fit. This was agreed unanimously
The accounts were proposed for acceptance by DL, seconded BW
8 SECRETARY’S REPORT
MB stated he had applied for three grants for the new building, two of which were now onto the second stage.
During the month he, together with JV had met the representative from WSCC with regards the new building. Previously the WSCC were offering only £20,000 towards the building, the representative had agreed to try and increase this figure to £40,000. She had left the meeting intending on seeking approval for this amount.
An estimate for a wooden frame for the new building had been received. This quote was very reasonable and it was thought the overall cost could be reduced from £170,000 to nearer £100,000.
