1. Why is it important that a plaque should be put up for Barry Kristofferson, which has been suggested in the minutes I would be interested to know further details of this.
2. I cannot understand why the council approved planning permission for the Hall to change the use of bar for further rooms. Which effectively means that there will never any chance of that place to change back to a hotel, I think it's absolutely sacrilege.
