Jon’s proposal to disband the CC fund raising committee was discussed and
it was felt that it should continue until the CC is complete and ready for
occupation, at that time the fund raising committee will hand over to an elected
CC management committee. This will be discussed in more detail with the current
village hall committee on the 24th as there are members of that committee who
may wish to continue with the new CC. Anyone wishing to take part it the
management of the new CC should contact the parish council, the current village
hall committee or the new CC fundraising committee for further details.

account, RK to contact William Mearch to discus the possibility of any monies
being transferred to the new CC funds.
