To receive the report of the Venue & Events Officer.

The Committee received the report of the Venue & Events Officer.

Members were pleased to see that the children’s play day event would be hosted at Oxlease after several successful years in the South of the town, this was a welcome alternative that would allow families from the North and East areas of Witney, that couldn’t reach Burwell to participate.

The Committee welcomed the schedule of other third-party events and agreed for the Berks, Bucks &Oxon  Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) to host a pop-up stand on The Leys in February and August.

A member asked if the Theatre Group which performed to children on The Leys recreational field last year would be returning. Officers advised it was currently not known but enquiries could be made.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted and,

2.      That, the request from BBOWT be granted and,

3.      That, the Venue & Events Officer contacts the Oxford Playhouse theatre group to see if they wish to host an event this year.
