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, Kerry Burkinshaw, Jacky Pett, Nik Findlay

Memorial Hall

• We are due to complete the sale on 20^th January

Big Lottery Reaching Communities Grant

• Due to postcode we cannot apply for this fund
• We will be writing to the organisers to present our concerns over the way the qualifications have been drawn up

Veolia Cre8/Other Grants

• We have applied for the Veolia Cre8 grant
• We did not qualify for WREN as we are outside their geographical area but we do qualify for BIFFA (based at Attlebridge).  BIFFA main grant is between £5 and £50K but you can only apply once 50% of the budget has already been secured.  A flagship project of £150-£500K exists but ‘flagship’ suggests no other projects of its kind exist in the region – our village hall project is therefore unlikely to qualify.
• We have a list of alternative funding organisations to consider
• There was a misunderstanding over the Grassroots money. It is no longer available.

Tea Dance

• Arrangements for the Tea Dance on 27^th March were agreed.

AOB/Important Dates/Agree next meeting date

• A number of questions were raised by our Broadland contact regarding the planning permission issues which will be followed up.

Next meeting on Tuesday 22ndFebruary 2011
