CR advised that prior to the Council decision, there had been other organisations who had contacted him and shown interest in joining the working party. KM suggested that at next meeting we could invite those interested to attend and to submit their expressions of interest for joining the working party. All agreed that it was a good idea to extend the working party - CR asked for contact details to be sent to himself and KM

KM read out the two emails he has received with regards to interest in Oldway as project manager. KM and LS will organise a meeting with Mr Daniels and to ask for CV and some references - ACTION - KM & LS

It was discussed whether the appointment would be a full or a part time post and all agreed a local part time post would be best.

MG advised that would be best to look at operator for Cafe who would be wanting to carry out fundraising and publicity/events for Oldway.

KM advised that it would not be possible to issue a long lease due to the future of the building so the operator would have to be mindful of this. If the Working Party want to have the cafe open for next summer, then this process would need to start ASAP. KM advised if there are any existing operators in the Bay who are interested in operating within Oldway then they should submit expressions of interest. CR commented that the cafe would need to be liable for business rates and classed as a separate unit to the rest of the Building. All agreed they were happy for the process to start to look for potential operator. CM & LG suggested about tours being carried out to certain parts of the building with a small charge being made - KM commented that this may be able to happen but this would require volunteer capacity for this to take place. MG & LG will speak to operators of Cantina to see if they are interested.

KM will circulate the budget details once he has spoken to some colleagues about the current operating costs and reserve balance. CM queried about the electricity charge as seems very expensive - KM advised will look into this and feedback. Any queries or questions on the budget, KM asked that these are sent to LS for action - ACTION - KM & LS

LG mentioned about introducing parking charges and KM advised that this has been discussed at a recent Parking Panel and once a decision has been made in line with the parking strategy, this will be discussed at a future Working Party meeting.

KM advised that the Mayor had received an email from April Singer from Singer family recently enquiringly as to the situation of Oldway and possibly holding a Singer family reunion at Oldway.

KM read out email received from a company regarding using Oldway for a mix of housing and it was agreed not to pursue this further.

The next Working Party meeting to be held after the approved contractor have carried out their investigations/survey.
