From the leaflet drop regarding the Bonus Ball fundraising scheme we had a grand total of 3 responses. Another possibility was raising money through raffle prizes. It was agreed that we would approach various organisations to see if they have any products / services to contribute to the prizes.

Action : Jo Bride

3. Robert Shaw Playing Field Update

The planting session went well making the entrance look more attractive. The entrance had also been tidied up prior to the planting event. The Biffa application result should be known by August. The field has started to be used by families to start playing sports on, in particularly cricket. It was agreed to see if the part of the plan that involves properly flattening part of the field to be used properly to plan these sorts of ball games could be brought forward. The committee were particularly interested in the either just flattening or scraping the top layer and re-seeding and the timescales involved in either.

Action : Deborah Wilson
