BYCC bank balance end of December 2018 figures £33,742

A discussion was had concerning the CIC bank balance.  End of December 2018 figures £2,946.  RESOLVED. The Treasurer would transfer funds from the BYCC up to £2,000 (if required) to prevent a negative balance.

Concern over higher electric bills was discussed. We are on the lowest tariff.  The centre has used more now where heating is needed e.g. Yoga.  Also the BYCC is all electric (no gas).

• Hall Floor.

The hall floor is in need of replacement. The committee inspected the hall floor.  This floor was laid in 2005.  A new sprung floor is not an option as this would be a lot higher.

Sarah Portwine (Centre Manager) met with three companies to discuss the options and costs.

NSR Flooring.  £6,200 includes VAT    Take away old floor. Apply new screed and primer and replace floor.  Hall to be closed for one week.

Goldman Harris.     £2,160.06 includes VAT and primer. Floor materials.    £11,514.83 includes VAT.  Not able to take away old flooring.

Shawn Watlans.  £4.495.00  plus VAT  no discussion concerning screed or removable.

RESOLVED: NSR Flooring would do the work, when required.  Diane Portwine to check if the BYCC are covered on the insurance.  Apply to Bembridge Parish Council to see if we qualify for the parish asset grant of £1,000. Investigate other grants that could be available.
