Other Items : The allotment centre road is now closed for the winter with immediate effect. Frans will speak with the Scout Hut committee to see if they still have need of it and report back with update. Brian Roebuck of plot 33F has agreed to join the committee and take on the role of Plot Inspection Person. The committee hereby duly elect him and welcome him unanimously. On going: Proposal made to consider putting a tow hitch on the tractor to enable the trailer (currently housed in the hut) to be better utilised for transporting heavy items around the site eg. Hedge trimmings and branches. It is agreed to review the use of these items in 6 months time to assess whether they should be sold as there is little point in retaining equipment that is no longer used. Next meeting will be on Wednesday 20th November 2019 at 7pm in the D.C |
