RESOLVED to accept the apologies received and reasons given.
RESOLVED that the minutes of the Remembrance Sunday & Armed Forces Day Working Group meeting held on Tuesday 30 October 2018 be confirmed and signed as a correct record.
Note: Councillor Boles abstained from voting on the above resolution.
Committee reviewed their remit for Armed Forces Day, namely delivery of the event and recommendation of the associated budget to Community Services Committee.
Members reviewed the feedback and observations from the 2018 and noted that:
The event name would remain the same as it allows for wider applications to external funding sources and allows for existing banners to be reused.
Onsite preparations for this year’s event would take place on the Thursday and Friday prior to the event.
The event would run from 11am to 9pm, with the Act of Remembrance to take place at 3pm.
Councillor C Davies noted that consent was gained at the 2018 event to contact exhibitors with details of the 2019 event once known.
Greater provision for bins and toilets to be made this year than previously.
Better use of internal Pavillion space to be made.
Councillor Woolley & Councillor Loates are to provide medical support at the event.
Stage hire and compere worked very well and members agreed that the same arrangements should be sourced for 2019. It was agreed that the stage location would be brought forward this year.
Councillor T Davies noted that the event had been officially registered on the Armed Forces Website.
Members reviewed the budget for 2018 and agreed that the charge for stalls would remain the same as 2018, £0 for information stalls, £5 for a school/charity, £10 for a business and £60 for catering.
RESOLVED to base the 2019 budget recommendation to Community Services Committee on 2018 income and expenditure levels and seek permission to secure arrangements in line with the draft budget.
RESOLVED to submit external funding applications to both the WLDC Councillor Initiative Fund and the Armed Forces Fund and that recommendation would be made to Management and Finance Committee to accept the grants if successful and allocate for spend in line with the proposed event budget (and in accordance with Standing Orders and Finance Regulations).
