Most time spent on this subject: Cricket future? How best to integrate the Holme Rovers requirements alongside other established users? Ground maintenance? Car parking on field? Lay By? 12a. Cricket. SS suggested John Patrick was still trimming the square? Given sell off of ground-keeping equipment by NR, lack of groundsperson volunteer and removal of square posts and ropes by NR, is cricket now finished at BLSC? We need to write to NR for a conclusion. SJ to draft email to circulate to Trustees and to be forwarded to NR, after approval, by LS as Vice Chair. SJ LS We 12b. Holme Rovers. Much discussion over incorporation of football alongside other established activities. understand the Zumba problem was two, or even three fold. Zumba need parking at 6.30 and carpark was already full. Changeover at 7pm was hopeless with football leaving as tennis were arriving. Toilet facility. Footballers were coming into the main hall asking for the toilets and generally looking confused as they didn’t know where to go. Louise Jay was very upset. LS suggested we get her a bunch of flowers asap, and to make sure that SS passes onto her that we are urgently working out what to do on Tuesdays. We will lose Zumba if no acceptable solution is found. We must look after our regular user groups.

Agreed at the meeting that toilet facility in the Centre to be used ‘carefully’ by girl players. Access to changing rooms to be provided to allow boys’ and men’s teams toilet facility. Bar currently to be open on Monday and Thursday for football but other nights to be reviewed on demand. SJ will write a document and pull together a meeting to discuss with Holme Rovers covering all above. SS SJ 12c. With additional ground use and especially impact of car parking and field works for Daily Mile, we need to consider field maintenance. To be discussed further at next meeting. SS pointed out that the field is in poor
