7. Future Developments
Lighting on bottom courts – investigate upgrading the lighting with the use of LEDs with better directional focus, reduced spillage and lower maintenance costs.
Purchase of Rebo Wall– consider purchasing a Rebo Wall with partial payment from an anonymous donation of £500. Donation was made on the proviso that it would benefit juniors.
Carpark Refurbishment – revisit when essential
Squash – replacement of floor on courts 2 and 3– application to be made to Sport England for a grant.
8. Any Other Business
Discussion as to whether we would make savings on gas/electric as now only one supplier for both. Dual fuel combination is very new (just a month or two) so difficult to say at this time.
Discussion on whether we could approach a brewery and ask them to contribute to any future bar refurbishment costs. It was pointed out that this would tie us to the brewery concerned. No further action. The bar refurbishment is not imminent.
Discussion of the use of the open space upstairs for other sporting activities such as exercise classes.The area is an awkward shape and there would be an issue of noise with the proximity to the squash courts. No further action.
Discussion on future development of the land at the back of the courts/premises near rear gate. Development is not currently possible as delivery access is necessary. No further action.
Meeting closed 9.35 p.m.
