THE
SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF LITTLE MALVERN PRIORY
Minutes
of the Committee Meeting held at 28 Avenue Road on Tuesday, 3rd Nov 2011
The Meeting started with a reading and a
prayer.
Present
Appointment
of Trustees
The Treasurer tabled a paper recommending:
a. The
introduction of revised procedures in line with the Charity Commission guidance
for appointing new members to the Committee as set out in paragraph 4 of his
paper. This was agreed.
b. An amendment to the current voting arrangements whereby
Friends’ Committee members who were also members of the PCC exercised two
votes. After some discussion it was agreed that such individuals
should not vote on the same proposal in both committees.
The
Chairman said that Lt Col Booth was willing to continue as the Organiser and we
were delighted that he should do so.
Secretary’s
Note:
The
following notice has been received from Mrs Berington:
I
have entered the NGS/LMP garden opening to the NGS publication, which comes out
in February and also noted that the Church will have a Flower Festival to
celebrate the Jubilee on that day, Monday 7th May.
Quinquennial
Inspection
Lt
Col Steel reported that the faculty for the ventilation pipes from the kitchen
and lavatory had been received and the work had been completed. All of the
proposed enhancements to the inside of the kitchen and lavatory had been
completed and we had received grateful comments from members of the
congregation.
The covering on
the flat roof above the porch, kitchen, lavatory and boiler room had been
replaced. On the recommendation of the architect, we had opted for a new felt
covering.
The last
actions from the Quinquennial Inspection were to replace the cracked sky lights,
repoint the short wall between the kitchen and porch and replace and fix tiles
on the west buttress. These would be completed in the next few weeks.
We would clear
the gutters and down pipes above the nave when most of the leaves had
fallen. This was an item of routine maintenance.
The approximate
costs for these actions were:
Replace glass
in skylights £450 (the cost of the glass was £310)
Tiles and
pointing £130
Gutter £150
