Finance
- 2 months: July was good £11,000 against £7,000 last year. August was bad £6,500 against £8,500 but we did have the refurbishment and it’s the holiday month.
- GP % has dropped but we are paying extra on our barrels to repay loan.
- Hall needs to be booked out more, we have paid out £630 in refunds but not many bookings coming up, is it still worthwhile?
- £2,500 profit for the year so far.
- Trust to pay non VAT bills for refurbishment.

Bar
- We will have a staff meeting to discuss cleaning etc.
- Aimee & Larissa both off at the moment, Stephanie is happy to cover if we need it.
- We have a new craft beer pump installed in the vine lounge.
- Gin Fizz event – Adnams are coming up trumps. Fentlemens will do a lot if we buy our mixers from them.
- Stephanie suggested a mulled wine tap so will contact Olly and see what he can do.
- Vine lounge refurb is completed, John said thank you to everyone for their help.
- Family Bar refurb will probably be delayed until July 2019 as some jobs will need to be done beforehand e.g.
knock down wall and boiler removed.
