Report of the Town Clerk.

Members considered a report of the Town Clerk regarding the City of London Corporation Sports and Activities Club (COLSSAC).

Members discussed the current budget, activities and attendee levels. Members supported the proposal that £800 per year would be granted to go towards the expense of City of London branded sports t-shirts for sponsored charity events.

Members heard about the children’s party and were dismayed to hear that COLSSAC were obliged to use expensive catering firms under current arrangements.

RESOLVED, that –

·         The funding to the COLSSAC, at an increased cost of £17,208 per year, for the next three years (2020/21 to 2022/23) totalling £51,624, be approved;

·         Authority be delegated to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chair and Deputy Chairman, to approve a sum of £800 per year, for the next three years (2020/21 to 2022/23) totalling £2,400, for the provision of City of London branded sports t-shirts for sponsored charity events, subject to sufficient funds being identified within City’s Cash Grants; and

·         The Chamberlain be asked to consider whether it is necessary for COLSSAC to use fixed catering contractors for their Children’s Party.
