Chairman’s Report: JP said that he and PL had visited SMBC archive where they had located the Chadkirk cross and recorded its dimensions with a view to finding a carpenter to make a box for it because it was not permitted to have any religious symbols on display during civil ceremonies in the Chapel. Kitchen Refurbishment - a design had been agreed and a quote for materials obtained from Howdens.

Treasurer’s Report: BT tabled a report and said that as FoC’s most important income stream was from kiosk sales, the kitchen area was now in need of refurbishment and that the funds were available to carry out this project. As interest rates were rising BT had transferred some funds into the savings account.
