6. A.O.B:

· Julian told the group that many skateparks are having their ramps stolen at the moment, so he recommends we use concrete. He has all documentation in place now to be just put together, including the letters for tender.

· Sharon asked everyone to try to get new people involved in our quest.

· Duncan suggested sending another questionnaire out after the skatepark is completed. It was agreed, including their views on the skatepark and our design for the next stage, with a costing. It was felt that this may interest more of the community.

· In this year’s gala we are walking in the procession and having our usual games stall.

· Julian suggested we finalise the design and get it out for tender, to get the costings finalised.

Thanks were given to all, especially Paula and Rob.
