Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk which sought approval to agree an increase in costs from both staff and the Committee’s budget for the Annual Staff Christmas Lunch. The costs would equate to a £3.00 increase for staff and £2.00 from the Committee budget.

Members noted that the caterer had requested an increased price of £5 per head, discussion took place on when the costs of the lunch had last increased, when this had been paid for from the Committee’s budget versus when the costs had been passed on to staff, how the caterer had been selected and the overall costs of catering for these events.

RESOLVED – That the Committee:

a)    note the increased costs for the lunches from £35 to £40 per head;

b)    agree the ongoing contribution which the Committee will make to the Annual Staff Lunches should be increased by £2 per head; and

c)    agree the contribution that staff members attending should make to the cost of the Staff Annual Lunches should be increased by £3 per head.
