Chairman’s Report; Nothing to report
63 Secretary’s Report: There appears to have been a leakage of “foul” water around the drain cover on the bottom corner of the sports field near the edge of the football pitch. SK confirmed this. This is part of the foul water drainage system running down the side of the pitch and then diagonally across the field and then behind the shed. Further investigation required. Action Point. AS/SK 64: PC Report. With no representative present there was nothing to hand
-
Bookings. HH reported that numerous enquiries are being received. Tuesdays are now fully booked with the Ukulele Club taking the three available Tuesdays in the month.
66 Date of next meeting: Monday 25th April; Venue to be determined but likely to be the BRMRC Club Room in the Signal Box. It is hoped that the ACSC, BRMRC and PC lease agreement will be signed at this meeting.
-
Any Other Business. a) HH reported that the curtain Poles are being fitted. -
b) AS informed the Trustees that he was not being included in correspondence from the PC on a number of matters that he, as ACSC Secretary, should be notified of and contacted over. JL agreed to inform the PC of the situation and instead of contacting him (JL) should in future deal directly with the appointed ACSC Secretary. -
c) Sports field /Recreation ground maintenance. DL reported that he considered that it was time the ACSC Trustees spent money on the maintenance of the field itself. The top end of the recreation ground is in a poor condition and regularly floods. There has been no maintenance on the field itself for a number of years and whilst Barnham Trojans FC were responsible for the repairs to the football pitches they were not responsible for overall maintenance of the field. SK confirmed the situation.
It was agreed to set up a small working group to assess the required maintenance and report back Working Group. DL/SK/JL. DL requested that Mark Blackman who maintains the football pitches be invited to join the group. Agreed. Mtg Closed at 8.30pm.
