Clerks and Administrator’s Report |
|
| 3.1 | MUGA – August meeting was postponed and will be put on the backburner for the time being, there being no immediate repair issues. In the meantime, VBC will contact the two coaches and inform them of the charge for 2019/2020. | VBC |
| 3.2 | Hall Administrator’s Updates –
On-line booking system – VBC is now double-checking bookings that have been put onto the system. JL doors- STC have been in contact, awaiting date for work to be completed – if this does not happen soon then alternative contractors may need to be sourced as doors deteriorating. Hiring of Hall – VBC wanted to note that a few villagers have commented that the OH is for the community but due to regular hirers they never get the date they want – it is with regret that we have to turn them away. Swift boxes – Boxes have been bought and the Hall Handyman will erect them in due course. Microphone – short term with minimum expense will be looked at, with a view to get a quote for new system to be put in the November budget for 2020/2021- VBC will approach a couple of residents to advise/assist. |

| 3.3 | Roofing Project – Applied for grant – decision will be given around next Parish Council or Trustee Meetings. The contractor who won the roofing contract is aware of timing of work has been changed and will stand by his price, the only increase is if the materials i.e. tiles increase in the meantime – this was made reference to in the grant application. | |
| 3.4 | Handyman Schedule – VBC confirmed the following works are still outstanding:- colour bulbs on order and to be replaced when arrived in the OH, drain guards to be placed over the drains around the JL Hall, purchased a nautical pulley for the stage curtains, stage floor replacement (Oct half-term), entrance pillars (awaiting price for concrete pier caps).
Bluebell blackboards sanded and repainted. JL Hall windows being looked into so they can be opened. Borders – having been weeded they are coming through again therefore ongoing maintenance is needed – JC will look into setting up a working party for this on the lines of the Litter Warriors so this can be kept on top off. |
