Matters Arising

 

Meeting Location: Following up on the minuted discussion which had taken place at the Finance Committee’s meeting, the Chairman took the opportunity to inform Members that he was minded to continue the practice of holding meetings at Guildhall, rather than at the Barbican Centre. This was in view of the fact that to hold meetings at the Barbican would result in a potential loss of income, as space used for Board meetings would be unavailable to use for commercial lettings. Notwithstanding this, the Chairman felt that it was important for regular visits to be arranged for Board Members to ensure familiarity with the totality of the Centre’s operations. Members were content with this approach and the Chairman asked the Barbican’s Directors to produce some possible options for such visits.

 

RECEIVED.
