This is a summary of the regular meeting of the Trustees.  The full minutes are confidential.  This summary is posted for your interest and information only.

Present: Chris & Heidi Cate, Norman Wright, Adam Wright, Nik Findlay, Jacky Pett, Lucinda Leonard & Hazel Ellard

• Nik reported that the Summer Children’s Activities had been very successful and that numbers have grown week by week. By the third week ten families form the village were present out of 28 children attending.
• We must submit our annual return to the Charities Commission by end of January 2011
• Hazel recapped the situation with the site and the complications surrounding applying for planning permission for two separate developments (the hall and the housing) but where the one could not proceed without the other.  The district valuation has been carried out, and we therefore know how much we will receive from the council, in principle.  Time is not on our side as an application to the Big Lottery needs to be made by the end of the year.  Other smaller funds have been identified and some grants are committed.
• We will press on with requesting the costing of the hall with the options previously discussed, in order to draft a tender document.  Clarification is needed on whether we can use the grant money for professional fees.
• Another fund-raising fete is proposed for August 2011 and a sub-committee has been formed.
• The website is now up and running and suggestions for additions were made.
• Next meeting 14^th September.
