ACTION NOTES FROM MEETING SUNDAY 13 FEB
Held in the (now sold) White Horse Pub
Apologies from Stef, unavoidably detained- but had left Malcolm with a list of items. Apologies from Jon & Al.
Thank you letters to donors had been produced and distributed.
Rose reported that our new balance stood at £1047 (which was added to later in the meetingthank
you very much)
Garden matters - John G reported that the tree was to be removed pm on Mon Feb 14th. It was
to be chopped down and we would be responsible for dealing with the wood. The stump would
be left and we would attempt final removal maybe next Saturday, but worst case scenario would
mean planting around the stump. Alex had secured a more favourable quote for top soil with
compost @ £12.50 per ton. Our requirement would cost between £300 - £350. We agreed to
go with this and Alex will liaise for order and delivery when we are ready to receive it. Malcolm
reported that the SBCC Trust required their large blue sign to be reinstalled at the same location
in the Garden. We agreed this would be done using secure treated wood posts with landscaping
(probably rockery) between West St fence and sign in an attempt to minimise visual impact.
Street Party matters - Geoff had papered the immediate street area with notification asking for
a response - so far 2 but early days yet. However, there is a deadline for application so have to
follow up on this if response rate slow. Evening Post is running competition re street parties and
we need to write something if we are to enter - probably illustrated with Kathleen’s photos now
scanned by Rose (?). Could Al put something together? Agreed although a ‘sub group’ formed
by Geoff and Clare to drive this through we’d all lend a hand post Table Top sale.
Table Top Sale matters - Malcolm had several points from Stef - could Al check with Graham of
Trust that we can have use of the Church car park from 12.30pm? We have a requirement for 7
tables at the mo - there are 4 in the Church, so John G to supply 3 which he’ll leave with Geoff
and Clare ( Geoff also has spare which we’ll use if necessary). The ‘Churchlands table’ might
expand into two and Geoff will ‘man’ it. Clare will look after ‘refreshments’. Al can you chase
up Tesco for the cakes and biscuits and let Clare know what the arrangements are? Ian is in
charge of ‘sweets in a jar’ competition. Rose will provide a ‘float ‘for each of those elements on
the day. We agreed to muster about midday on the Sunday to set up.
Other matters - work party next Saturday, starting 8.30/9 to clear away and tidy prior to wood
framing along path and arrival of top soil.
Thank you to our new members ( so sorry forgot to write names down) who provided prize of a
family day out at Wookey Hole) and to the lady who gave cash donation.
Next meeting TBD after Table Top Sale.
Apologies if I’ve missed something vital.
Malcolm Brammar
