3.1       SM intimated that he had received an e-mail request from a local resident to join JCC. He contacted CCRC and received a copy of the  “Good Practice Guide to Filling Vacancies” together with copies of application forms and return envelopes.       Notices had to be placed locally and information was published on the Website.

 

3.2       SM informed the applicant of the date and time of this meeting but she did not attend.

 

3.3       Since there are several vacancies, Pat McLean (a former long serving member) has completed an application form.

4          CORRESPONDENCE

 

4.1       Annual Grant.

The cheque for £476.05 was passed to Robert Mellish but we still await receipt of the refund for the incorrect deduction for CCRC insurance.

 

4.2       ASCC Insurance

There has been a steady flow of emails without any satisfactory outcome.      Our insurance schedule states that our cover period is 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 but following enquiries Zurich has told us that it runs from 1 May 2009 to 30 April 2010.   ASCC appears to be in a muddle and there is some doubt whether we should continue to insure with them.   SM has kept the CCRC fully informed of these unsatisfactory developments.

 

4.3       Jordanhill Campus.

There has been no information about developments, except for a brief e-mail informing us that the groundsman’s house on Southbrae Drive was to be demolished during the Easter holidays.

 

4.4       Community Councils Discussion Group.

A meeting was held on Saturday 10 April, but SM who had intended to attend was unable to do so.

4.6       Fossil Grove and Victoria Park.
