8. Any Other Business

WI
thought Hall was cold at their last meeting and Buffs had trouble with upstairs radiators.

KB reported that Pre-school had found two windows left open on Monday morning.

Curtains have been missing from upstairs internal windows since Hall was decorated.

TG advised that Karate have complained about sand being left on the floor after Pre-school sessions.
KB to ask them only to use tiled area by bar for sandpit.

Pre-school would like another key fob.
SW may have a box of them at home.

Crockery still needs to be topped up or replaced as we do not have enough when there is a large function on. Stainless steel vegetable dishes are also missing.

SA suggested tidy of upstairs storage cupboard. FS to ask Kath Harkness to remove Youth Club stuff from this cupboard by the end of the month. AS thought a general tidy of Hall is needed. Cooker needs professional clean. MB suggested waiting till after Breakfast Fundraiser (6/3/11).

Pre-school want to have notice boards put up in Hall. Committee OK with this so long as they use the hooks which boards can be attached to and that they are taken down at the end of each week.


9. Date of next meeting
The date of the next meeting will be Monday 14 February at 7.30pm for the AGM, followed immediately by the normal meeting.
