Summary Notes from Hall Trustees’ meeting 27/2/24

- The online Hall booking system will go live after David’s retirement. A simplified schedule of hiring charges has been agreed.
- The Hall Quiz Night will be on Saturday 16/11/24. As a celebration of the Hall’s 50th Anniversary, this will be a special event, to include wine on the tables.
- The heating controller has been replaced; this may have been malfunctioning, resulting in low room temperatures on some occasions. It it hoped that it may be possible to reduce the noise which the heaters make.
- It appears that mould in the cupboard at the far end of the Garden Room may have been caused by a leaking roof around the soil pipe. This will be rectified urgently.
- The working lights on the stage need to be replaced. An alternative unit, suspended from the gantry, is to be trialled.
- The new batteries (to store solar energy) will be installed within a few days of this meeting.
