Update of Concept Plan
Dean has asked Jorgen for costing of
the two options (these will be very similar) and a 4 lane 25m 1.4m
deep lap pool. Hopes to have these back before A&P show,
possibly prior to Christmas.
Dean to give feedback to Jorgen.

Weights Room
There was some discussion about the
weights room – that the plan does not have a room dedicated to
weights. Georgia felt that this was important for those on a green
prescription and for the teenagers. Had been discussed in the past
and no one had actually come forward to date wanting it, it would be
in direct conflict with a business in town and that the rugby club
had tried it before but wasn’t really used as much as first
thought.
Function Room
No decision yet made on option 1 or 2.
Merits for both. Cost will be about the same so not deciding at this
point is not going cause a problem.
Discussed about putting the toilets
downstairs, but could be cost prohibitive. Structural cost increase
considerably once start going to two levels which is why overall
building planned for one level.
Option 1 may allow a lot more winter
sun into the building.
Storage / Viewing Space at end of
Gym
Graham raised concern that there might
not be enough storage in the project. Search and Rescue themselves
would be looking for about 20m².
Storage at the end of the gym may be
bit thin. Possibly only 2m wide – not that user friendly. Also a
huge amount of space above it wasted (whole height of the gym).
Question raised whether the area above the storage could perhaps be
viewing platform into the gym.
Outdoor storage needs to have a
coordinated approach. Agreed that don’t need architecturally
designed buildings, but once we have built a stunning centre don’t
want to see lots of little huts dotted around the place.
A&P Show
A&P Show on 21 January. A stand
has been booked.
Jenny P questioned whether we are ready
and prepared to answer the questions likely to come up. Arlun
suggested a pre-show meeting of those volunteering to man the stand.
Agreed that the show is the easiest way to reach the most amount of
people and that appropriate as it is on site.
Ann said that it was vital that
everyone from our group is singing from the same hymn sheet.
Fact sheet and briefing to be written
up beforehand. Questionnaire / suggestion box at stand for people to
fill in there and then. Important to focus on the multi-function
nature of the project – not just sport.
Public meeting to be held fairly soon
afterwards while still fresh in people’s minds.
Jen P to send out email asking for
volunteers. Action Jenny P
GB Weekly
Pete suggested an article in GB Weekly
on the Friday prior to the show giving the history of the grounds and
what the future could be like. Photos rather than plans – plans
too small and difficult to explain with limited space. Pete to talk
to GB Weekly. Action Pete
Feasibility Study
Pub Charity application unsuccessful on
basis that didn’t really meet criteria (don’t usually fund set up
costs). Jen P to look at fundview to see if can find another source
to fund feasibility study. Action Jenny P
Model
Fleur raised that Barry Evans has
offered to do a 3D model. All delighted with the offer, but felt
that it is a bit soon – further down the track would very much
appreciate this offer.
Meeting closed 8.20pm
