Approval of minutes. The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved apart from the fact that Mr. Buck pointed out was not made aware of the meeting and therefore did not attend.
Matters arising.
In and Out signs. Mr Lewis agreed to find some appropriate signs. 
Paint for containers. Because of the bad weather all summer it had not been practical to carry out the work this therefore will not be done until next summer. Mr. Buck had researched the cost of suitable paint and was shocked at the price, Mr. Perks suggested contacting a supplier he used for paint.
Progress with fencing, as the proposed area was not clear, it was suggested that Pre School should provide a draft drawing of what they hoped to do before authorization to go ahead can be given.

Any other business
The sunshine club reported that the Hall was not very warm on Monday. Pre School also reported that after running one bowl of hot water, no more could be obtained, the Clerk was asked to contact the plumber for advice. Mrs Soanes had been to a meeting at Corton Village Hall, which has just been painted by the Community Payback Scheme, she contacted them regarding decorating Blundeston Village Hall and they will be available to come  4th April to Sunday 19th 2009. They provide the labour and we will be expected to provide the paint and brushes.  Pre School have a bookshelf which they would like positioned in the Hall permanently. This was discussed and decided that it would not be practicable as other Hall users would use or misuse the books. Mr Buck reported that a diffuser on the lights at the back of the Hall had been broken on Friday evening during the Scout occupation, he offered to get the lights sorted out after Christmas. The Scouts also requested to have a notice board to make people aware of the fact that the scouts meet in the Village Hall, permission was given for this. Mr Perks asked if the painters are professionally able to do the work and Mrs Soanes said that the finish at Corton was very good. Mr Nichols asked if the rest of the committee where aware of the fact that the Scouts use air rifles during their sessions? Mr. Buck assured the committee that the scouts are fully supervised by trained adults during this practice and the surroundings are very well protected. The Clerk reported that another window had been broken, this time the kitchen window. The police were called and they said that it was the very same rock which had been used to break the stage window 3 weeks previously, a full account would be given by the Police at the Parish Council meeting. There being no further business the meeting closed.
