Agenda and minutes

The Minutes of the meeting held on 29 September 2021 were agreed as a correct record by those Members who were present at the meeting and signed by the Chairman.

None.

None.

The Head of Regulatory Services introduced the report which clarifies the terms of the lease as things stands at the moment. He noted that the statutory requirements have been met, the details advertised with no responses received and the independent surveyors confirm the lease terms are market rent and therefore do not pose a problem.

A Member welcomed the report noting that it was a significant step for the cricket club who have great aspirations to build on its status as a leading club in Mid Sussex.

The Chairman took the Trustees to the recommendations which were agreed by a clear majority.
