| 4. Booking Secretary’s report
– The regular bookings continue and there are to be two planning enquiries of 4 & 5 days in January and March. There are lots of party bookings and exercise classes, but there will be no more whist drives. We had 31 bookings in June, 27 in July, 15 in August and 30 in September – There has been a request to hire the hall for Rugby Tots but the Committee decided that the risk of damage, especially to the ceiling baffles, was too great and it was suggested they be referred to the Sports and Social Club. -Problems with the light/ventilator in the gents loo and with the hoover have been sorted by AB – MH tabled the new booking form which was discussed and amended |

| 5. Executive Alarms
Service and maintenance alarms had been suggested by Executive Alarms: the one for the intruder alarm would be £85 for one visit per year, and for the fire alarm and lights £155 and 2 visits per year, both plus VAT. DB will circulate their proposal for further discussion and a decision at the next meeting. |

| 6. Defibrillator
The Parish Council has 3 of these to be installed at the shop, the Sports and Social Club and, it was agreed, at the Village Hall between the two toilet windows at the car park end. A 24 electric feed was necessary which the Committee agreed to pay for. It is used by dialling a number and being talked through whatever needs doing, so no training is required.
