Minutes of the last meeting on 2nd July 2018 were agreed. |
|
| BB noted the issue MP brought up about concreting outside “their” storage unit and that it is now a matter of urgency to get this matter dealt with. Mick Bell from the Football Club had mentioned the soil heap that was left against the Clubhouse, when the Handymen were undertaking the works, that this is covering the dampcourse and may rot to Clubhouse. All to be brought to Environments attention. | BB | |

Clerks and Administration’s Report |
|
| 3.1 | MUGA – MH will chase quotes for resurfacing and bring them to the next meeting. VBC will chase the tennis coaches for their opinion on the surface. BB mentioned that there were cracks appearing on the righthand corner of the tennis court, which might need more urgent attention than resurfacing. VBC mentioned that during the summer holidays a replacement padlock was purchased as the existing padlock went missing. | MH/VBC |
| 3.2 | Roofing – Now that Ingleton Wood have been appointed BB is arranging a meeting face to face to show them around the hall, discuss the works etc. | BB |
| 3.3 | Handyman Schedule: VBC expressed concern that she did not have the support of the Handymen during the Summer Holidays even though she had contacted JGR and met up with them to discuss the jobs that required attention. VBC proposed that the Hall needs their “own” Handyman – this was agreed and VBC will speak with LW to discuss chargeout rate and proposed that Ivor Beckwith-Cole be approached to be used on an ad-hoc basis. | VBC/LW |
| 3.4 | Mobile Phone – VBC confirmed mobile phone is up and running and a great help to her role. | |
| 3.5 | CCTV – all up and running well – waiting on manual, quote for annual maintenance and an adjustment on the rear camera. It was suggested that as the new system is working well to slowly add the old system onto the new system. | VBC |
| 3.6 | Rubbish Bin Area – This was practically completed over the summer holiday. There is still ironmongery to be finished off. VBC mentioned misuse of the bin area with people throwing rubbish over – this will be kept underview and in the future the bin store may need to be higher. In the meantime a notice to be placed stating CCTV in the area. A padlock has now been put on the front doors and all necessary people advised of the code. The brick structure by the new bin store is now surplus to use by Premises and would ask the Environment committee to use or dispose of. | BT /Env Cmt |
| 3.7 | Website – LW and VBC have been working on the new system during the summer holidays. There are a few teething problems and it was suggested that LW will contact the Clerk at Coggeshall who uses a similar on line system to guide us through, if they are unable to help then DK to come up and go through the system with us. Still looking at September to go live. | LW/DK/VBC |
| 3.8 | Hall Border tidying – VBC to chase quotes from IMB. VBC suggested that the hall borders on the tennis court side could be turned into a seating area for Social Club use – this item to go on the Agenda at the next PC/SC meeting. It was mentioned that at the same time as tidying up the borders that the ramp by the double doors that lead onto the field be “levelled off”. | VBC/PC &SC |
| 3.9 | Curtains – All in hand and being delivered middle of September. IMB will hang up. | VBC |
