Notes on the Royal Oak Open Day on 16th December are now available HERE
​
At the First meeting of the Hub Group 06/011/23 (from the meeting report): "There was some confusion expressed about where the discussions had reached regarding Phase 3 of the work on the building. It was reported that Nick Sloan had said there would be more consultation when HOTV knew the outcome of current grant applications. It was pointed out that Nick was no longer on the Management Committee.
In advance of this it was pointed out by a volunteer involved in packing away stock, that the stock room on the Phase 3 plan is extremely small. There is already congestion on delivery days which can result in hazardous working conditions. One regular volunteer had stopped working there having hurt their back."
In her record of the meeting with the management Committee, 20/11/23 Marilyn reported that "There is now to be the open day on Saturday 16 December where the village are invited to come and look at plans, and at which members of the Management Committee will be on hand to explain the plans. There are several aspects relating to Phase 3 that villagers may wish to discuss. The rationale for the work, the financial implications of expansion, the impact on staff/volunteers. A follow up meeting open to all may be appropriate to give opportunity for questions and answers, once people have had time to reflect on information gathered at the open day."
We now await further developments following the HOTV Management Committee meeting on Monday 18th December 2023.
