Apologies from Ian and Sylvia Evetts, John Haynes, Martin Taylor-Wilde Russ Boyack, Lorraine Mountford, Rosie Ayliffe, Stuart McCormack.
Fell race: Ray will take over from Tony, with Tony helping. Fell race will run as before.
Music: Ted confirmed the last act to play on the 16th has been booked by Lorraine – Stuck in Second. Mike and Andy will organise the rest of the music, as already agreed, more emphasis needed regarding the two areas for music i.e. Scarthin and Community centre. D Mitchell asked what the time slots will be for music at the Community Centre? The Community Centre will pay towards the music.
Money:
200 Club account circulated showing a healthy balance currently of £4378.00.
Dan Shaw's marquee has been purchased for £500.00.
Discussion took place regarding the distribution of money raised to local good causes. D Mitchell suggested a list of previous recipients is published in the program, highlighting the purpose of Celebrating Cromford and making clear to supporters the use of the monies raised. This was agreed to be carried out this year.
The cost of the insurance was questioned, it covers up to 15 events even though we only put on two, however it is the best price and value for money available at this time.
Agreed to decide on donations to local organisations next meeting.
Anne Taylor-Wilde agreed to help sell advertising space in the program, prices to be the same as 2016. Ted or John Haynes to collate the program.
CC programme: Paul has booked the flypast. Morris dancers suggested were Ripley Green Garters and the Winster Morris Men, Ian Evetts to contact? Possible marching band again. Community Centre; Barbeque, Childrens rides, film footage about Cromford in the past, probably run on a loop, with a donation bucket out rather than an admission charge. Chapel; will do food, may have poetry this time but possibly a photographic display. Also, possibly a film again.
The school fair will go ahead.
Marketeers to organise stalls if they will. Otherwise no market.
Open gardens and pallet gardens; Pallets last years participants are all interested, no theme to be given, allow the palletteers to choose their own. Open Gardens, little interest so far, maybe an appeal for more gardens could be placed in Around the Millpond?
Dates for 2018: Plant sale 19th May outside Community Centre. CC 16th-17th June Open Gardens 8th July Garden Produce Show August 27th Apple Day October 13th Christmas Market November 24th. Next Celebrating Cromford meeting March 6th in The Boat at 19.30
