i.            Schoolchildren and Young persons – PS, SH,
SH has emailed the group with the results from the pod questionnaire,
Good results, he has sent a letter of thanks to the school.

SH next stage will be to sort out the youth questionnaire.

ii.          Sport/Leisure Clubs/Elderly and Disability/Churches – PM, PL, PS
PM said they have around 80% of the questionnaires back, the last few they should have back soon.  General feeling is that the clubs are looking for new members, and volunteer to help.  PS said when all the questionnaires are back, she will be looking at putting an advertisement in the West Felton Parish Magazine asking if people would like to try the clubs, hopefully to attach new members. 

CD said has part of your Parish Plan you could ask if anyone would like to volunteer to help with the clubs.



iii.       Workers/employers/ICT/Commercials – HG, MG, PS, GM, DI

·         Outcome of Rednal tour with Mostyn-Owens
DI spoke about the meeting, said it was a good meeting. DI will email them his list of companies he has on the business address list, Candida Mostyn-Owen will fill in the email address.  SH will email the questionnaire and she will chase them up.   The group think it would be best if they collect them back or arrange a drop off pint.

·         Questionnaires and Flyers–
SH has had the questionnaires photocopied, he handed them out to the volunteers.


·         Volunteers for delivery/Interviews/collection/collation –
DI spoke about the rest of the companies on the list, the volunteers  will deliver the rest.


·         Schedule of deliveries-
DI will email the companies to the volunteers, if they choose who they would like to visit.  Email them back to him, he will mark names against the companies to unsure we do not duplicate.  When the volunteers have collected them back, let DI know so he can mark as completed.  The group agreed it would be a good idea to phone the company and let them know we are dropping the questionnaire off.

LOOKING AT A COMPLETION DATE OF 14TH JANUARY.
