Mrs J Stamp read out her Report. The Ivy club has ceased to exist after many years, due to falling numbers, and so will no

Eastern European group are still holding their meetings once a month. The Vikings are still with us. LIHS also doing well. History Group meet once a Month. The Collectors Club has been increasing its attendances, and they hire the back room once a month. We have been approached by Blaby District Council regarding setting up Health & Wellbeing classes in line with “Care in the Community”. This is still on hold for now.
## Health & Safety Report
## Mr S Inglesant & Mr J Stamp reported on Health & Safety matters.
No Major incidents reported. Risk Assessment will be re-done. John Stamp said the domestic cooker we have in the kitchen is getting old, so it was decided to remove it and replace it with a cupboard. John will arrange this. Dave Hirst asked if a users list could be put on display showing days and times of occupation of the hall. Also a map showing nearest De-Defibrillators.
