Club Meeting Minutes – Junes 2013

1. Minutes of the last meeting
   The minutes of the previous meeting were read and agreed.
2. Matters Arising
   New signing in book is available for use behind the bar.
   No more news regarding the parking situation for the nursery planning application.
   It had been decided to raise the height of two of the urinals to combat the problem with flooding.  As replacements would cost £200 each and would probably not make any difference.

   Current Account                  £60,258
   Deposit Account                  £50,553
   Bills                                      £17,000
   Bond Account                      £40,000
   It was another profitable month.  Figures are up on the same time last year.  The snooker maintenance contract with Thurstons has been signed for two years at a cost of £60 per month.
4. Repairs and Maintenance
   Awaiting price for the alteration to the slipway gradient.
5. Bar
   The bar prices in the back hall have now been adjusted for guests.  Membership card checks will commence once we receive an updated member list from Gary Wade.  We now have a new crisps and snacks supplier providing us with a better service.
