The Lodge of St. John In Bedwardine No: 7458

Business Meeting

Due, to this heat wave our WM has decided to postpone our  business meeting scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday 14th Jan )  to February the Third 3rd  at Rainbow Hill.
 
This will take place at 6.15 and will finish promptly at 7.00, any left over business being left to a further meeting probably in May.
 
The rehearsal will then start promptly at 7.00pm.

A G E N D A

• To agree the minutes of the last meeting: Don
• Items outstanding. Don
• Finance Alun

• • Loan to Buildings Company
• • Lodge Membership Fees
• • Festival Fund
• • Dining Fees (Wine inclusive?)

• • December White Table? Alan / John
• • Charity Brian W.
• • Almoner Bob
• • Any Other Business.

Alun will be proposing a slight increase in subs reflecting a general increase in Lodge expenses:

General
Lodge subs £105
Festival Fund £15
£120 ... £10 per month

We have as an option the proposal to not include wine in the dining fee, Brethren being able to purchase drinks (including wine by the bottle) at the bar prior to the meeting. Obviously this would be a whole Lodge option ... we either all stay as we are or we move to the new system. The alternative costs would be as below:

Dining
Per meal with wine £16 ... £80 pa £7.00 per month (rounded up)
Per meal without wine £12 ... £60 pa £5.00 per month
