(Report
presented to PCC of a meeting on 8th October between J. Cartwright
and G. Jeff with a member of Mendip District Council offices and their
contractor for tree & churchyard maintenance).
This
was a good report of a meeting which clarified Mendip responsibilities and the
works to be carried out by them in the churchyard. Council workmen were seen on
site on the 29th October.

8.1
Severe
winds on the 28th October blew down a gutter and broke some tiles
during the morning service. Thea has asked Steve Wall to look at damage and
advise on action.
8.2
There
is a badly rusted heater under the sink in the toilet which will need
replacing. No action at present as wiring needs checking before any purchase of
a heater (NB. there is no plug, only a wire in the wall).
(Wendy Cartwright- see also separate financial statement)
9.1 We have now paid £6,000 of our Parish Share: 2/3 of the total requested.
9.2 The new crockery has been paid for by two anonymous donors.
9.3 The roof fund current account has £1239.51 in credit; it was agreed that £1,200 be paid into the CBF roof fund.
No information was to hand, except that the kitchen cupboard is to be re-fitted next week with shelves to store the new crockery. (There was some discussion on the flower cupboard and possible re-ordering of the same design).
