ALTON REGENERATION GROUP (SRB)
Minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 11th September 2007 at The Royal Oak, Alton.
1. PRESENT: John Moorhouse (Treasurer), Gillian Morrison, Angie Hurst (minutes), Gabbi Lees, Loz Mitchell, David Scrivens, Pat Riesco, Neil Jeffereys and Linda Goodwin
2. APOLOGIES: There were none
3. MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING: These were read and agreed
4. MATTERS ARISING: Angie was given a list of the Businesses on the website who have not paid this year. It was agreed not to ask Barry Burton for a donation because he helped sell Calendars. Angie agreed to send out letters.
5. WEBSITE: Neil reported that he thought he could manage the website without the Dreamweaver package. However if funding was available it would be useful. UK Villages and local Co-Ops are giving grants ranging from £300 to £500. Dr Brown will take photos of the Surgery staff for the website when there is no one on holiday. He will e-mail them to Neil for the Surgery leaflet. Neil thought it might be a good idea to offer a page on the website “properties for Sale” It was agreed this could be a good idea.
6. PUMP AREA AND NEW ROAD GARDEN: Dave had a request from the Parish Council to go to a meeting but was on holiday. John reported that we need Alan to sort out the information on the pump area.
7. YOUTH PROJECT: Loz reported that there was not enough momentum from the youngsters to carry this forward at present. If anyone wants to go skateboarding he is very happy to take them if they phone him. Parents are also taking them on a regular basis. Loz felt it was best to leave this project on the back burner until the young people took more responsibility to move things forward.
8. SPORTS FIELD: Gabby reported that Chris Davis was going to look at this project.
9. TRANSPORT CO-ORDINATOR : No feedback on this at present.
10. ALLOTMENTS: Nothing to tell at present.
11. CALENDARS: Neil brought a copy of two different Calendars he had
Printed with a view to selling. It had been decided early in the year not to do
Calendars again. The group thought the Calendars were very good and it would
be a shame not to give people the opportunity to buy them. It was decided
to try again but to only print 20 and see if there was a market for them. It was
agreed that we would have to charge £7.50 to cover the cost. It was agreed to
Let Neil have £100 towards his costs. This was proposed by John and seconded by
by Angie.
12. ANY OTHER BUSINESS: Gillian thought it would be a good idea to send out leaflets reminding people of the next meeting. Angie agreed to do some and Pat offered to put them in letter boxes.
13. DATE TIME AND PLACE OF THE NEXT MEETINGS: Tuesday 9th October and Tuesday 13th November 2007 at the Royal Oak Pub at 7.30pm.
