Redecoration of toilets and touch up main hall - £790 quote received from Terry O'Neill.  Agreed to go ahead on this basis.  DP to arrange at suitable time - first week in August would fit in best with dance classes.

Sports and Social

NC had a call from a person who runs an Under 8s football club who was looking for use of field/pavilion for matches - he is to write/email to us to formally request this (he is prepared to pay the going rate for this).  Agreed that this was a good idea in principle but would need to discuss with Parish Council as they own the building and field.  May be accepted if we agree to put funds back into refurbishment of pavilion.
