Matters Arising From Minutes

A CEF/Network Website meeting is to be convened next week.

 

Michael suggested that we publicise Community Chest successes to show the local impact of the awards and to encourage applications in future.

The meeting felt that there were issues around

·        the time lapse between the closing date and groups finding out the outcome

·        the short time period between groups receiving forms and the closing date

Michael informed the meeting that Sandra was willing to deal with day to day management issues re Brook Chambers, e.g. repairs. The HCPT Board would discuss the possibility of  taking on formally the management of the centre.

Alan reported that the Loose Music/Feedback Magazine Collective have requested use of the premises. This was agreed, on the proviso that there remains open space for general use within the centre.
