MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE STEERING GROUPSATURDAY 22 JULY 2006 IN THE VILLAGE HALL AT 10.00 AMPRESENT: James Lilwall, Chairman, David & Janet
Cockburn, Gillian Horner, Alex Kirby, John Mallen, MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING
were taken as read. MATTERS ARISING NOT COVERED
BY AGENDA – there were none. COMMUNITY SURVEY AK tabled graphs and a list
of the comments from each returned survey.
It was agreed that everyone would read this at home. AK will e-mail this raw data to all committee
members. AK also tabled a list of the
people who had said they would be willing to help. It was agreed that MM would draft a letter
thanking them for their offers of support and that the Chairman will speak to
some of them. JM suggested that a
Supporters’ Newsletter could be prepared for them each month. There was some discussion
about the areas of the village that had not been covered by the survey. JC agreed to check the outstanding houses
and to call again and/or leave notes. AK reported that about 80%
of the people who spoke to her at the Fete did not live in Bawdeswell but
were interested in what we are doing because they are doing something similar
in their villages. The survey data has to be
finalised at the September meeting and AK must have all the information in by
the end of August. JM said he believes we have
to follow on quickly with feedback to the community on the survey, perhaps
showing 10 bullet points of what is wanted PROJECT VISION It was agreed that the
Vision Workshop run by Rosalind Johnson was very useful and we are very
grateful to her for giving up her time to run it. It had crystallised our ideas and was team
building. It was agreed to articulate
a Vision statement from the common themes and the Chairman, FR and MM will
get together to prepare a draft for the next meeting. The Chairman asked that all members of the
Committee use the internet to look at the Vision statements of other organisations,
like Norwich Cathedral and Dragon Hall.
Once we have agreed a Vision Statement we may have to broaden the
Mission Statement and in speaking with people it may be that we will have to
change the Vision. How to communicate the
vision? The Chairman wondered if we
should organise an open evening for the village to talk about the project, to
launch the vision and to get some feedback.
It proved difficult to find a date to do this. FR said we will need to sell it to the
community and suggested we put on a 10 minute dramatic enactment/interlude! BUSINESS PLAN, PROJECT
TIMETABLE The Chairman said we must
make an application by the beginning of next year. There had been an article in the EDP
recently reporting that £50,000 was being made available for village halls
over 3 years in the spring of each year.
So we must apply by the spring of next year. AK suggested that the Chairman speaks to
Alan Rawlings the architect as we will need specifics for the Business Plan
so will need some idea of costings. DC
and JC will check the details on the lottery web site. JC will e-mail Veronica Savage for further
details. ANY OTHER BUSINESS The School Quiz is
scheduled for 14 October and GH suggested that Project Bawdeswell has a
team. This was seen as a very good
idea and MM and JM will co-ordinate a team.
It was also suggested that perhaps we should attend future village
functions as Project Bawdeswell. AK said there must be some
small something that we could be doing now.
JM said lots of things have been achieved already, the village hall has
been redecorated, the lay-by has been cleared, Adam’s
Pit is being cleared. The meeting closed at 11.40
