Action- Stephen has been in touch and arrange meeting with Gareth and Hannah and others
Councillor Aimsberry has been in touch with Hannah regarding the above- MUGGA has been allocated £105,000 to Mugga and £40,000 for the rest of the park. We need to lobby Leisure and Mike A. We now have the costings and should use this as a starting point.
Gareth went though minutes and talked through minutes.
Lecterns- the cheque has been sent off and we are waiting for them to be put. The invoice was incorrect- the wrong price and the Invoice was to Friends of Greenbank and the lecterns were to the park. We have only just got a good price. They are hoping to get them to put them in by the end of the year.
2. Events
Sunday 19th of April or the 26th- the dogs home bring the marquee and the ring with them, they provide a judge, and Friends of Greenbank will provide the publicity. We can bring dogs and they bring their own.
Kites, crazy golf, etc

There are lots of residents association- ResFest to try and get as many people as possible from local associations together

We need to nail them down for dates and ensure there is an action plan.

Trees available- maybe we could tree line the path or bottom end of Byrom, Hannah to give Paul Stephen D's email address so they can discuss this in more detail.

8. AOB
Irene mentioned that the money for bird boxes has yet to be cashed.
Move the logs, Stephen can use a chainsaw so he maybe able to cut them up and make them into seats- Liz has been talking to Phillipa about this. The cost of cutting it up is very expensive, Phillipa is briefing them but we haven’t agreed to it. Liz mentioned that it was not really cost effective and didn’t feel that we would get the most for the money. Liz has told Phillipa that this is not a priority for us and is far to much money. Phillipa agreed to seat idea and volunteered Steve- we need to talk to them about this. Should they be used for barriers- Judith explained that the tractor man has not agreed to do this in the path.
Goal post- we would be able to get a goal post then it would define the area. Should try and follow this up ASAP. Gareth has spoken to them about it.
