The school now gives the Hall £5.2k per year.  This rate has been set for 3 years.

 

 

4.                 Refurbishment Issues

 

The grant of £8.8k has been accepted by Test Valley Borough Council.

Still waiting to hear from Hampshire County Council.

 

Work will start in late July when the school holidays start.

 

The hall needs to be completely cleared before work begins.  The school dining hall can be used for storage.  Committee members are requested to help with the clearance the weekend before work commences.  Pat will send out an email requesting help.

 

Colour schemes.  Sheridan, Cynthia and David to buy some test pots to experiment with colours.  It was agreed that two colours were necessary to “reduce” the height of the ceiling.

 

It was also agreed investigating what’s underneath the paint on the stage.  Sheridan will do this.

 

 

 

 

 

5.                 Events & Reviews

 

Sheridan and Cynthia attended the Hog the Limelight showcase.  Cynthia will try and book the following events: Circus workshop, Shoo Shoo baby (April 2008) and Instant Wit (November 2007).

 

We were not able to get a suitable date in December for the Christmas Panto, so Cynthia will try and book them for Jan 2008 instead.  Cynthia will also try and book them for the following Christmas.

 

There is some confusion with start times on tickets.  It was decided to put an earlier start time to make sure people did not arrive late.  So, if a performance starts at 8:00, the tickets will state 7:30.

 

Cabaret (13th April 2007)

Excellent reports were received by everyone.  The only down side being the low numbers.  This could have been attributable to the marketing and the fact that the event was during the school holidays.  A big thanks to all that helped out.

A profit of £200+ is anticipated.
