0004 Licensing Issues
Members were advised that following a visit from a District Council licensing
officer, administrative changes have been made regarding booking registered
doormen for events where it is considered that a doorman is necessary.
0005 Bar Arrangements
Discussion took place regarding the present arrangements for the bar. The
Council’s percentage takings of the profits taken over the bar up to the end of
August were reviewed – further details are awaited for the takings up to the end
of the calendar year. One or two issues will be raised with the Designated
Premises Supervisor but members considered on balance that the arrangements are
working well.
0006 Centre Usage
The Centre has been open for just over a year and is proving popular with users
– many events are already booked for this calendar year, and most bookings are
by people who have attended another event or through personal recommendation.
Members considered that further promotion for parties and weddings is not
presently necessary owing to the number of bookings already made, but day time
use of the Centre could be increased.
0007 Security
Staff security issues were discussed and agreed.
The meeting closed at approximately 6.30pm
