Gillian Horner, Alex Kirby, John Mallen, APOLOGIES: Jayne
Bown, Janet Cockburn The Chairman opened the
meeting by thanking Gillian Horner for letting us use the School House. Matters Arising Not Covered by the Agenda The
Chairman has found out to whom he needs to speak at the Bowling Club and he
will contact him.
Action JL He has also spoken to the
Parish Clerk about our account and at the moment we only have a balance of
£50. It
was agreed that MM would speak to Tony Needham at Breckland Council about the
Application for a Community Grant towards the cost of the village appraisal
and JM offered help and support with liaising with the Council.
Action MM Community Survey Results Presentation AK tabled the Survey
Results and a document showing the comments of villagers and also projected
information and graphs showing the response of the community to the
questionnaire. This was gone through
in detail by the committee and there was much discussion on the results. (These documents are attached.) The Chairman thanked AK and
DC for all the work they had done in designing the questionnaires in the
first place and for collating and presenting the data. There was some discussion
on what we should do now to inform the village of the outcome of the survey
but no decision was reached. It was
felt that we should seek advice from Tony Needham of Breckland Council and Veronica
Savage of the Norfolk Assoc. of Village Halls on the results and the best way
to proceed.
Action MM Project Vision (click

been received by all and was accepted by the Committee with one minor
amendment and they thanked MM and JL for preparing it. Version 7, the final one will be sent to
all committee members. A copy will
also be sent to TN and VS.
Action MM Lottery Fund Update and Timescales The Chairman reported that
the Lottery Application form is still to be downloaded and he has been unable
to set out Timescales. He hopes to get
on to that next week. Action JL Village Hall Plans Update The Chairman has not done
anything more on this and there was a query on whether there is funding
available from Breckland for professional fees. It was suggested that Tony Needham be
invited to the next meeting.
Action MM The Chairman is keen to
speak to the Village Hall Committee about getting some plans drawn up and
about financing the cost and will speak to Jane Bown before their next
meeting. Action JL DC reported that he had
already spoken with the architect who is working from Stable Cottage. It was agreed that JL and NW would call and
see him and if appropriate invite him to bring examples of Village Hall plans
to the next meeting. Action JL and NW Any Other Business It was pointed out that the
precept is to be discussed at the next Parish Council meeting and the
Chairman and other Councilors will seek a similar amount as last year for
Project Bawdeswell. Meeting Dates and Venues 10.00 am Saturday 25
