Matters from Last Meeting |

2.1 | Health and Safety Questionnaire Waiting to hear from the Headquarters of Essex Fire Service whether they are able to assist us. VBC said the company she was waiting to hear back from was only interested in clients carrying out a course. It was suggested that VBC attend a course and then arrange for an internal training session with Bluebells, regular hirers and Parish Councillors etc. |

The Flower Club cupboard has now been moved from the garage and whilst the contractor is on site for the toilet refurbishment they will fill the hole between the two garages.

1) VBC advised that the projector has a crack – she sent pictures off and it is the projector rather than the lamp. A new projector would cost £650 plus £75 fitting. VBC to go back and ask for a quote to take it down and send off and for the faulty bit to be replaced. | VBC | |
2) BT came to the meeting with ideas for signage around the Hall so that all signs are uniform. It was agreed that this should go to the Parish Council Meeting for further discussion. | BT/ PC |
|
3) The John Lampon ramp which now has painted lines along the edge still feel that this is inadequate and whether soil can be placed on either side.
