WOLLASTON VILLAGE HALL MANAGEMENT
COMMITTEE MEETING
6.30pm, Tuesday 10 January 2023
Village Hall, Wollaston
Present: Dr Mike Goldsmith (Chair), Greg Carter, Fran Woods, Sarah Layram, Penny Watts and Jess Lusher.
Apologies: Debra Styles, Maureen Green, Geoff Simmons, Kathy Betts, Rep from Bowls club.
Mike welcomed everyone to the meeting. Apologies were given as above.
The minutes from the meeting which took place on 06 December 2022 were agreed.
There is more delay due to the employee at the Duchy not starting until 22 February 2023 to make a decision on the rotation of the building from the original plans. Mike proposes a meeting with the tenant farmer to smooth things over with him to speed up the process so the planning pre app can be applied for in March. The earliest the new build could be operational is August 2024. It will be on a freehold basis after transfer. A changing room needs to be allocated to the Dance School and other users. The preschool will be required to put together a business plan and consider providing an area for the under 2s. Consideration as to whether the preschool remains a charity or becomes a business. Section 106 monies are granted to a preschool which can offer 50 spaces. It was agreed Jess, Fran and Greg would be part of the Community Centre and Preschool Committee.
The sanitary bins for both sites will arrive Wednesday 11 January 2023. Afternote: Debra has contacted Mr Essam regarding the lounge lights. The spotlights in the main hall need checking as 1 has failed. Blood donation group have decided the site is too small, despite having previously used the site.
Not available.
Quite a few new bookings including a new boxercise class run by Mr Ingold in the main hall on Fridays, pm. New home education class workshops have been booked in the Oasis as well as new yoga sessions (6 week course) in the Oasis. Children’s parties have been booked. The request from a previous hirer for keep fit will have to be declined due to no availability. The noise inhibitor in the Oasis has not been repaired and with the company who originally installed it having gone out of business, it will not be replaced due to the new build taking place. The main hall floor was left in poor condition after the Christmas Fair. This was due to the rock salt being brought in as the steps were icy. The floor requires a wax or polish.
Currently have 10 children and running well. Request for the heating to be left at 10C overnight as it has been very cold in the main hall in the mornings.
Started back last week.
All good.
Going well with numbers stable.
No report.
Tuesday 07 February 2023, 6.30pm Village Hall Lounge.
