Special Church Meeting: Letters in the post
For members of Leigh Road Baptist Church there is an item of Special Business within the Church Meeting 18th November 2010 regarding BUILD funding. Letters have been sent to every member and we request that you make every effort to attend. We need to show as membership that we are commited to the project and therefore I request that as many church members as possible are present at the meeting.
With Love in Christ

BUILD: Church Meeting Thursday 8th July 2010 Be There!
Dear LRBC Church Members
I warmly encourage you to come to the church meeting on Thursday 8th July 2010, 8pm. It will be extremely important in the life of the church and the leadership will be casting the vision for what we want to do over the next few years and there will be ample time for feedback and work in groups to discuss proposals. The meeting will also have many items of interest including update on BUILD, agreeing the 2009 accounts and information about future ministry.
It would be great if we could all find the time to show our commitment to the church as church members and join in for what promises to be a really good evening. This is your opportunity to contribute to what we do in the future.
We will start with coffee and then move into the interactive presentation which will involve all of the leadership team.
Thanks for all you are doing in the life of the church.
Yours
Steve Currell
Church Secretary.

BUILD Update from Church Meeting 21 May 2009
Following our decision not to undertake the big, £3 million, rebuild project there is extensive work to be done throughout the site.
From the last church meeting you will know that Alan Cook has been working hard identifying everything which needs attention, compiling lists, prioritising and obtaining quotations from contractors. At the same time the BUILD project board has been continuing to work on the proposals for the Main Hall, Pre-school and Parlour. These two areas were the subject of the Leaders Away Day morning on the 9th May and the purpose of this presentation is to bring you the following recommendations:
1. Looking after what we have got.
All the items requiring attention have been divided into three priorities:-
Priority 1 Items require immediate attention.
We need to attend to these items because we are currently breaching Health & Safety legislation or the requirements of an external body, and consequently our premises insurance is invalidated.
We need to immediately undertake work to make the building watertight and prevent further deterioration of the fabric of the building.
Timescale – over the summer 09
The budget for this work is £60K
This work will be funded by Reserves.
We recognise further spend maybe needed as a consequence of fixed electrical and fire inspections
2. Improving the signage and storage
Internal by September 09
Storage proposals by September, some work over summer hols, must adhere to Health & Safety legislation
3. How you can help
Thank you to those of you who already do regular work in the garden and around the site. If you would like to assist further we:
Plan to organise a work party of volunteers to under take selected items of work around the site such as gardening, keeping the site clean and tidy and simple decoration projects.
Please give your name to Jane or Alan
4. Planning for the future
Alan has been working on a programme of cyclical maintenance. In order to look after our premises in the future we need to be spending in the region on £40-50K a year.
5. Changing what we have got: BUILD 09
Three architects have been invited to submit Design Concepts for the Main Hall, Pre-school and Parlour. The designs are due in 1 June.
The architects have been invited to present their ideas to the Leadership, Project Board, Development Team on Thursday 4 June.
Church members will be able to have a look at the proposals on the18th and 21st of June
Outline Project Briefs are available – please ask Jane for one.
We are working up a funding strategy.
We would like to be in a position to make a recommendation at the next church meeting, 9th July, as to which architect should be engaged on the project.
As always, please do not hesitate to speak to either Jane Brookes (BUILD) or Alan Cook (Premises) should you require any further information or have any comments to make.

Update from Church Meeting 19 March 09
- Maintaining the premises.
A priority list for maintenance is being prepared. This will include costs and will be presented to the leadership by end of March 2009. We are also addressing storage issues. - The church spire is being repaired.
The contractor, SEECO, is waiting for the copper to be delivered. - Flat roof inspection.
All the flat roofs over the site, including the Stables, are being inspected to establish what work needs to be done. - Warehouse roof.
A number of corrugated plastic skylights have been replaced. - Ideas for redevelopment.
The project board has outlined a number of ideas for the Welcome area, Main Hall and Primary Room. An indication of costs is currently being obtained for these options. - The Outline Deign Brief
has been drafted and has been discussed by the Leadership Team. This is an important document because it identifies the aims and objectives of the project and will be given to any consultant employed by LRBC on the project - Signage around the site.
It has been agreed to install comprehensive signage around the site beginning with a pilot along the Pall Mall corridor.
Please contact me if you would like to know anything more or have views to express! I can be contacted by e-mail or at the church office or on my mobile, 07974 562981.
