September 2008

The 6th meeting of 2008 was held on Sunday 7th September at 12noon in Turnberry Gardens. Present: Committee - W MacNamara, T Hughes, W Harrity, S Phelan, W Millar
Managment - A Rae, M Smith
The Chairman opened the meeting and welcomed members.
Points arising from the minutes:

Trees and Bushes
Some pruning and trimming has been done but not nearly enough to restore our views to any great extent.

Lighting
A programme of maintenance and improvements is running at the moment.

Recycling
We are to continue to use the general bins.

Gala Weekend
The raffle from the programme numbers was won by holidaymakers, the Laurie family from Norfolk. Various caravanners have asked that we mention how much they enjoyed the 'garden party' at KV54. Many thanks to Pat Cwiertnia and her helpers.

Bowls
A surplus of £50 from the last outing has been added to the Charities Fund.

Dance Floor
This is on order and will be laid in Turnberry Gardens.

Mr Rae noted points made and answered questions on a variety of subjects:
Maintenance Toilets - baby change area in Bonga Wonga's falls well below standard expected.
Sauna - is being repaired.
Arran View main stairs - uneven paving.
Sports Area - spars missing on fencing.
Mash and Barrell needs regular operating hours - Friday, Saturday last irders 1.00am.
Leisure Centre - there is concern that staff are being asked to admit people who are not passholders.
Suggestion Boxes - members feel these are still not operating very well. Mr Rae will monitor.
Soft Play - this area is being abused by older children.
Dixies - due to longstanding contractual obligations, Dixies must open for Country & Western weekend. As compensation we will be able to buy weekend passes for the event at substantially reduced prices.

Gas Check
Special deal for our members only £25.00 - phone 0141 959 2225 to arrange.
