  1. Welcome and Apologies

Mike welcomed everyone to the meeting.  Apologies were given as above.

 

  1. Minutes of the Previous Meeting

The minutes from the meeting which took place on 07 March 2023 were agreed and signed.

 

  1. Matters Arising

Helen’s contract was signed by Mike which Helen will take away and review and if she is happy with it, will sign and return.  Hayley’s contract has been amended for Debra to reissue.   Greg will contact Debra regarding the clothes bank to discuss the position of the unit and overspill rubbish.

 

  1. New Community Centre and Preschool

The Parish Council will meet the cost of the Deed of Variation to amend the plan on the Section 106 Agreement for the rotation of the building which has been agreed, in principle, by the Duchy on a site visit.  The Parish Council awaits confirmation in writing.

 

  1. Treasurer’s Report

Figures to be updated to include recent Youth Club payment.  The balance is positive due to the receipt of the Parish Council annual grant.  Geoff has finally made contact with the water company with hopes to resolve the meter issue and potentially obtain a credit.  The accounts need to be reviewed by someone who does not need to be a qualified accountant.  The Baptist Church Treasurer will be approached to see if (for a small donation) they would be willing to review.

 

  1. Caretaker’s Report

Helen reported one off party bookings going well.  There has been an approach for boxercise which can be accommodated in the Oasis although noise will need to be monitored.  The phone needs answer message and monitoring.  Mike will meet with Hayley to discuss cleaning schedule and cleaning supplies procurement.

 

  1. Busy Bees Report

No report.

 

 

  1. Youth Club Report

Numbers are steady.   Easter eggs have been bought for members to give out on the last session before Easter.   An advert has gone into the village magazine for more volunteers to supervise the sessions.

 

  1. Over 60’s Bowls

No report.

 

  1. Studio 52 Dance Academy

Presentation days went extremely well.

 

  1. Other Users
