20/07 BUILDING & AMENITY PRIORITIES – Tennis Club update. Julie Porte.

Julie apologised for sending out the new opening procedures to all club members before alerting the PC as agreed. Now open to members only, from the same household. Club house is shut. No public play or guests permitted.

A lot of members are taking up this offer and they will introduce pay and play when they can.

The public booking system via the Hotel needed an overhaul so now the club is using the ClubSpark website to control the bookings.

Cllr Jefferies asked whether the public court can have the current rules emailed out to people who wish to hire a court?

Julie confirmed she would get an email from the person when they made a booking so this will be looked into. Currently the key codes for all locks are the same so would need to make changes to allow non-members to play.

Phil the coach will be moss killing and cleaning the courts.

The club wants to paint court 3 this year. This is the court nearest the club house that has suffered with clay being washed onto it during flood weather.
The Clerk advised that the PC are looking to get quotes to rectify this.
Julie will arrange the location of the outside tap with the plumber.

The club asked if there was any change of a rent decrease due to Covid19 meaning they haven’t been able to use the courts
for a while. This will be added to the next EGPA agenda.

The clubs next AGM is Nov and they currently have all members for the committee that they need.

Julie will report back on the pay and play situation and also will talk to the football club about the parking issue.

Julie left the meeting at 8.00pm

20/08 BUILDING & AMENITY PRIORITIES – Flooding at Rec Hall to tennis courts.

Cllr Rawlings had visited with Hardwick Homes who did the work originally. The car park still has a slope which leads towards the Rec Hall and courts. The proposed solution is to create a 3 inch high hump running across the gated entrance which will deflect the water away. Suitable for wheelchairs and coloured yellow. Approx £200.00

Cllr Rawlings suggested asking the Tennis Club to cover 50% of this cost to which Cllrs agreed. Item for next agenda as need to obtain further quotes. Cllr Rawlings will send the spec to the Clerk.

20/09. BUILDING & AMENITY PRIORITIES – Wood chipper for Handyman to use.

It had been suggested that this may be a useful addition to the tools the PC own as it is otherwise costly and inconvenient for large branches to be removed after tree work.

Cllr Jefferies supports this as a long term asset to the council.
Cllr Sunners suggests that the usage of this be discussed with the handyman & possibilities of it being stolen.
Cllr Bates believes the cost may be prohibitive
Cllr Rawlings will discuss with the handyman. Item for next agenda with prices for consideration.
