Action Points:
Clerk – 16/41. Just waiting for Sheena to sign the amended contract.
Cllr Walton met with Elliots about the Rec Hall which was positive. The building is supported by a steel frame.
Between the columns are infill panels which can be removed and the building is still structurally sound. It will be
suggested that the lower section of the panels are removed to fix rotten areas, then a dado rail added and
redecoration carried out to the lower sections only. Lee from Allbuild is going to do a trial on one board to see
what is underneath and will then provide us with a quote for the work.
Cllr Sunners -16/170. Welding of pitch barriers will be carried out in the spring when the ground isn’t waterlogged.

Newsons about this.
Cllr Bates 16/78. Action owner was changed to Cllr Sunners. There was some tension felt at the Tennis Club AGM
