The photocopying: 400+ pounds and we now need to consider this as the budget for the photocopier that is required. Insurance 1800 this is to be reviewed earlier this year in an attempt to save money. Rachel to check snack money payments as parents saying the payee name didn’t match when creating the payment. Costs: need to employ someone for gritting during the winter months. (Ultan to organise for John Mullan to visit Nicola and provide quote) Suggested reviewing the lease (Maria to check) to see if there is any agreement/responsibility for the maintenance of the grounds. Also suggested discussing
