SPORTS REPORT. Cricket – Rope, Ian to buy at week end or text Fred on Monday with length required. Russ to book nets at Stourport. Cricket committee to be formed. Mark is asked to be Cricket rep for this committee (Thank you for taking on this position) Football – Ian to chase up suspects for the dirty littered changing rooms. Ian to consult John about the connection and therefore the leak at the back of the toilets. Ian and Phil with Ben Watkins to be included in talks with Blakedown football clubs Sunday league team. Pitches all taken on Saturday with junior sides as our priority due to their established support of the ground. Any extra slots over and above this would be too much wear and tear. Nigel to promote the sale of Ballroom Glitz tickets, flyers and ticket sales 10am Saturday or 2.30 Sunday. Amy and Judy to promote junior side in Blakedown School, using a flyer in bookbags and leafleting the village.
WATER. Severn Trent’s bill is now £4623.88. Diane and Fred have met with an Engineer at the ground, away change shower drips and so do some other pipes but stop taps are used at the pavilion, not enough to explain this huge bill. Engineer again next Thursday to check pipe. Meter said to be ok. Discuss next meeting after 2nd engineer been.
PLAYGROUND UPDATE. Email sent round informing us all prior to work starting. Jim and representative visited school to inform Children there for safety (and anticipation!) Watch the space at a safe distance and remember that even once it is finished the grass etc will need time to grow and settle so it won’t look its best straight away!
BALLROOM GLITZ. Saturday March 8th.
