The
Minutes of the last meeting were taken as read and agreed. MATTERS
ARISING
The
Chairman is going to speak to Rosaline about the Business Plan and funding
but her company would have to be paid for it’s input. Payment can be by the hour or it can be an
agreed percentage of the amount received.
So it is important to have plans drawn up first. DC reported that there are funds available
for drawing up a Business Plan and he will re-look into this. JC said she agrees that it is a good idea
to have a professional involved. It
was agreed that we would seek professional help with funding after the
building plans are available. There is
enough money available to get to this stage. JM
mentioned that Lyng is also planning to rebuild its village hall. It was suggested that in future our
meeting dates be changed to the last Saturday in the month prior to the
Parish Council meeting.
It
was agreed that the meeting scheduled for 9 August 2008 be cancelled in order
to allow the sub-group members to meet.
A full meeting will be convened if necessary. WORK STREAM UPDATES Children’s Play Area It was reported that the application made to
Community Spaces has been rejected. It
is not known why we were turned down and we need to get that information from
GS, M to ask him for correspondence received.
It was agreed that we would register with Biffa for a grant at
a cost of £100.00. JC says she
believes the work involved needs breaking down into smaller jobs. JM says he thinks we should seek some media
coverage of what is being done with the cricket nets and village hall
activities throughout the school holidays.
Ian Clark is the editor of the Dereham and Fakenham Times. DC believes he and others in the village
will be able to build the Kick Walls themselves. The Chairman is going to speak to Fel
Roberts about becoming involved again with Project Bawdeswell and in
particular the children’s needs. Activities Sub-Group (BAG)
JC
reported that the BAG group has had a meeting about the plans for the summer
holidays and they are planning to have an open day on Saturday the 2nd
August, prior to the first day on Monday, 4th August. DC said that they plan to run a Car Boot
also on the 2nd and wonders if it would possible for Project Bawdeswell
to run a monthly Saturday afternoon Car Boot to raise funds. The charge is £5 per pitch. In
September there will be a coffee morning to get a programme organised for the
winter for adults. DC reported that
the cricket nets cost £750 to put up.
He wants to put up a further set and by buying the parts himself this
can be achieved for only £450. One of
the Committee very generously agreed to fund the whole £450, for which
everyone felt the village would be most grateful. Playing Field JL reported that
the field drainage would be dependent upon the
