Summary of information given at the Church Meeting on Thursday 17 September 2009

In order to communicate as effectively as possible to the Church

Family here is a summary of the information given at the Church

Meeting on Thursday 17 September:

1. BUILD has two main strands – the first is to maintain the site and the second is to

change and enhance the premises.

2. Over the summer, Robin and Alan have been very busy maintaining the premises.

Here is a taste of some of their activity:-

· Asbestos from the Sanctuary Loft has been removed.

· The fixed electrical inspection of the entire site took place.

· All portable electrical appliances have been tested.

· As a consequence of the Fire Risk Assessment Report the cellar and parts of the

premises have been cleared.

3. Signage. A new board has been erected in the church garden. Comprehensive internal

signage will be in place by the end of October.

4. Storage around the site

· Pre-school now benefits from the use of all the cupboards in the Primary Room.

· Their physical play equipment is now stored in the Main Hall.

· All the crockery and cutlery is now stored in the Stables boiler room.

· We are aiming to have all the children’s and youth work storage in the link between

the Main Hall and the Stables.

· We are considering using the large walk-in store (vacated by Pre-school) as a

cleaner’s store and flower arrangers area and store.

5. Changing and enhancing the premises:

Key points to date:

· Lewis Patten Architects have been appointed to Planning Stage and the Development

Team has met with him twice. We are refining the Development Brief and meeting

with key stakeholders to better understand their requirements and storage needs.

The Marguerite Drive elevation is being re-considered to take account of the feedback

received. We are also considering the appointment of further consultants to the

Design Team.

· A funding strategy has been developed. As part of that, Jamie Currell is co-ordinating

fund raising events. Please see him with any bright ideas.

6. The total cost of maintaining and changing and enhancing the premises is £900,000.

7. Timescales: maintenance is on-going and the aim is to start changing the premises in

January 2011.
