3. Minutes of the meeting held on 16 January 2007 for confirmation and signature
   
   The Minutes were approved and signed as a true and correct record.
   
   
   
4. Matters arising from the Minutes of the meeting held on 16 January 2007
   
   1) Central Heating works to Building   The Deputy Clerk reported that despite five fan heaters being used during the breakdown of the central heating system the electricity bill for the same period last year showed very little difference.
   
   2) Obstruction to Fire Exit    A large ‘Do Not Obstruct This Fire Exit’ sign had been purchased and erected on the fire exit door from the main hall to the cottage garden. It was hoped that it would act as a reminder to Rexton House Nursery School to ensure that the exit was not obscured when stacking their chairs and tables.
   
   3) Kidde Fire Protection   The meeting was informed that following a query over non-illuminated fire escape lights, an engineer had called to check the system and found them in correct working order.  An invoice had been received amounting to £185.06.  Members of staff felt that the amount was excessive and had queried it with Kidde.  The outcome was awaited.
   
   4) Window Catches to Main Hall   The two broken catches would not be replaced as they were too high to be reached and were not considered a security problem.
   
   
   
5. Walkabout
   
   The following points were noted:-
1. New modular seating had been purchased for the ‘Quiet Area’ in the rear hall
2. A new coffee table to be purchased for the ‘Quiet Area’
