16/103. Football matters. Matt Clark attending
All the taps in the pavilion are now push button taps. The hot water pump is fixed and the shower heads now work well. They are still to be re-boarded with Aqua board.
The probation team have started work on the new compound floor at the rear of the Rec Hall. and will finish next weekend. There is a structural membrane, 50 tonnes of scalpings, with board edging and chippings for the top surface.
Matt reported that a few games were played in December.
The football club have their own cleaning company, and every two weeks they come in and clean up the pavilion. Matt is to make sure he remembers to contact them regularly.
Matt is to also make sure all coloured tape used by players is put in the bin.
There are now over 100 people involved in the adult teams.
There is a need for additional parking; the field is currently too wet. They are looking at the hexagonal sheeting to provide a row of parking along the hedge line.
Cllr Brady reported on the recent meeting with Lee from Allbuild. The playing conditions of the pitch were talked about and how he can help us apply for funding for the work.
Lee is aware of a specific grant available to do this work at the moment.
Matt reported that the FA are going to do an assessment of the pitch to provide them with info and costs on how the pitch could be improved. Allbuild can then quote for this.
Clerk to provide contact details so Matt and Lee can talk to each other on this.
Cllr McMurray advised we need to be aware of where the excess water will go. There used to be a ditch at the end of the field following Hodson Road that took the water away. SBC filled it as they believed it was a hazard.
Matt will chase the FA to see what they say and arrange a site visit date.
Matt asked the committee if the club can put a large shed on their new compound – the committee advised this was ok.
16/104. Tennis Club. Julie Porte attending.
Fence damage – the contractor has visited the site and provided a quote of £1275.00 plus VAT for the work.
Neither the PC or the Tennis Club are insured for the damaged caused. The privacy sheeting the tennis club erected did unfortunately act like a sail in the high winds. The TC lease shows that the PC only insure the building and the TC must maintain the courts, flood lights and fencing.
Need to talk to Finance Committee about how we can assist. Cllr Brady proposed a 50/50% split. Julie is to take this away to the TC committee and the Clerk will get the action raised on the Finance agenda.
It was reported that 15 children attend the Friday PM kids tennis club.
Julie will ask Phil the Coach to send the Clerk details of this so that it can be added to the FB and website pages.
Membership remains static. Julie was asked if when children join for lessons and clubs can the parents be given info packs to encourage them to join.
Cllr Walton reminded Julie of the Memorial Hall grants available and will provide her with information.
Cllr Brady is to check with Withy King to see how we stand on the TC lease and its interpretation.
