17. Matters Arising: SSE. Secretary was able to report that he had managed to unlock the meter cupboard and after passing the latest reading to SSE the ACSC were in debt to the company to a total of £8.06 as of Sept 8th There is no need to increase our Standing Order payments of £187.00 per month.
The current agreement is due to expire Oct 31st and DL had requested information on whether was a better tariff agreement available. He was still waiting for details but proposed that if it was found this was the best tariff that we renew for a further period to be determined. Moving forward and in an attempt to rationalise the existing situation DL stated that he would be taking monthly readings from the main meter and asked that clubs who had their own meter do the same and feed that reading back to him. Effective from Oct 1st. He will contact each club nearer the dates. Bowls Club, Tennis Club, Shooting Club and BRMRC. At present there is no arrangement for clubs to be paying their share of electricity used and the ACSC as a whole is bearing the annual cost for electricity. It was confirmed that SSE also supply gas to the centre. Minute 11/17a Mrs P Smallman re matters at the AGM. Letter had been acknowledged, contents noted. -2- 11/17b. Stage Floor. Further investigation had determined that the Stage floor was correctly re-laid and as the original floor was fireproofed it was not essential that we add further fire proofing to the new top surface. However it was agreed that we do paint with a non-slip surface paint as a safety matter as the proposed children’s drama group would soon be using the stage. Action Point HH/DL A member of the BRMRC was prepared to re-face the stage floor and had submitted a provisional cost for materials. It was agreed that a maximum amount to £50.00 be made available.
