Jane and Christine met up with the representative from McGregors Fire Protection Services who was inspecting the hall. There were a number of actions identified as needing attention including the emergency lightening needing replaced-not on the right circuit. There needs to be another smoke detector fitted.Also, the zones were not correct and need to be determined.

He will send out a full report and list of actions needed with a quote -this will be looked at in the next meeting.

5. Hall Website/Facebook Page

Minutes to be uploaded to the website by Lynne

Adverts-Ann felt that it didn’t look good to see these when accessing the website. It was agreed that we should upgrade and pay the subscription so these would no longer be showing.

Cheviot, Stag and the Black Black Oil-14th June. Tickets are free to order but a donation at the door would be expected. There will also be a raffle and donations of prizes are needed. 

Shona is providing the projector. The screen in the hall will be adequate and Steven will set this up. Colin will work the sound. Shona, Steven and Colin plan to have a practice run beforehand. Colin has also very kindly offered to donate his PA System to the hall but new cables would need to ordered. 

Ceilidh-31st AugustThe Fling Band are available and it was agreed that we would book them. Colin will be responsible for the sound. Steven would organise the bar and it was thought that the small room would be best for this. The hall will need to apply for a licence which Colin will organise. More planning will be done at a future meeting.
