This item was moved up the agenda with the express permission of the Chair, so that the members of the public could listen to the debate.

 

The Committee received and considered the report of the Venue Manager which had been previously circulated. 

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.            that the report be noted;

 

2.            that the request for six subsidised uses of the Corn Exchange Main Hall for income generating events in 2020 and up to twelve (one each month) in 2021 be delegated to the Venue Manager and Town Clerk/Office Manager – and setting acceptable parameters to work within be agreed;

 

3.            that sundry charges as followed be agreed :-

               

Additional hours over booking time

£25.00 per hour, up to a maximum of 3 hours.

After 3 hours a full second session charge will be applied

Flip Chart Stand hire

£5.00 per session

Hirers can bring their own paper and pens or can also hire it from the Corn Exchange for a cost

Projector Hire

£10.00 per session

people inadvertently walk off with leads and maybe an additional cost would be in order to focus the mind in this respect

Staging

Negotiable. £25.00 with more than 1 weeks’ notice. £50.00 for short notice

a couple of hours work for the caretakers

 

4.            that rather than charging for tea and coffee per cup for smaller groups, Officers investigate an appropriate rate for hire of the kitchen of the Corn Exchange or associated cost for use of equipment;

 

5.            that four hourly booking slots for new hirers at Burwell Hall and the Corn Exchange be agreed;

 

6.         that the hire charge for the Over 30’s Disco be increased to the non-charitable charge of £240 per session for a period of one year;
