  1. Welcome and Apologies

Mike welcomed everyone to the meeting and apologies were given as above.

 

  1. Chair’s Report

Mike reported to the meeting that most of the previous two years had been spent working on the New Community Hall.  The two proposed sites in Irchester Road have been confirmed as not safe by the HSE due to the expanding risk zones.  Other potential sites have been identified as unsuitable and therefore the proposal is for the Re-development of the current Village Hall which is outdated and requires major refurbishment.    Mike also reported that within the past year a new Secretary, Caretaker and Cleaner had been employed.
