  • CHAIRPERSON
  • In late May S.M. put out a post on Facebook seeking expression in interests in the Modified Piano closing 7th June. The best home for this usual instrument The Committee considered it to be Dirtymerkins Studio in Morley as others who expressed interest wanted just for personal use. Dirtymerkins Studio stated in their expression of interest that they are a “recording studio that caters to original bands keeping prices at cost so bands can get there recordings out and this would be a great addition to the studio. This would be a perfect home and would get used by local musicians for their art.”
  • S.M. reports 6 monthly fire extinguisher tagging and exit sign testing was performed May. One extinguisher was missing from the shed. A whole bunch had expired and have now been replaced.
