Trustees & Committees

A car boot and jumble sale is held to raise funds for essential hall maintenance and after the event, while other trustees help clear up, the treasurer is left alone to count and bank the substantial amount of cash collected:

A hall user complains that there is a potential risk of accident in the hall due to a carpet not being secured down:

The committee decides to commit to expenditure on redecoration that exceeds the amount of funds they have held in reserve in the firm belief that the balance will be forthcoming from other sources once they let it be known it is needed:

The bookings secretary has refused a booking from a youth group as they feared damage may be done to the hall:

Someone on the committee says that all trustees should be 'CRB' checked as the playgroup for very young children frequently uses the hall:

A new member of the committee asks for a copy of the constitution so that they know what is expected of them:
