The 5th meeting of 2009 was held on Sunday 2nd August at 12noon in Turnberry Gardens.

Committee: W Harrity, T Hughes, S Phelan.
Apologies: W MacNamara, W Millar
Management Rep: Mandy Clinton

W Harrity opened the meeting, introduced Mrs Clinton and welcomed members.

Mash & Barrel
Members request for set opening hours is acknowledged and should there be a reason to close earlier, adequate notice will be given.

Big Night Out
Irish Theme Night was well attended and enjoyed.
There is a request to improve the provision for children at such events. Restoration of the children's dance floor would ease the congestion on the main floor, especially in the evening. A 'tuckshop' facility to provide juice and snacks would be welcome.
Owners are reminded that each caravan has an allocation of 6 tickets for these events. More are usually available on the day, depending on demand.

Library
This facility in the O.E. Leisure Centre is now well established and working well.

O.E. Pavilion previously Golf Pavilion
is available for functions. Proceeds to go to Craig Tara Charities.

Bowls
Next match scheduled for Saturday 29th August.

Golf Club
Annual Dance and Presentation of Prizes will take place on 24th October. Several good acts to appear. Further details from organisers Tom and Robert.

Maintenance
Points were raised concerning repairs to fences at New Arran View and at the Maintenance Yard. Members say that the damage at New Arran View is largely caused by trespassers and they have this and other issues to raise with security. The Committee said they would request that a member of the Security staff address a future meeting.

Little Star Charity Campaign
A member sought clarification on the reason for the delay in presenting the cheque for 2008-2009 season. Management hope to be able to detail the exact use of the money to help local children's projects. Negotiations are underway with six nominated local charities and these should be completed shortly.
