Matters arising
• Results from the Envisioning Day will come shortly.  
• The new publicity push is still to happen, though the new poster will be available shortly.  The new Communications Team is also still to be formed and given instructions on carrying on the work that Nicole has started.  However, many thanks go to Nicole for the work she has done on raising the quality of our publicity.  
• The Yellow Bus seating plan is working well at the moment.  Many thanks to Richard and Hazel for organizing that, and getting the bus running smoothly.  
• The issue of the front door at St. John's (whether we need a door bell) is on-going.  
• Cleaning at St. John's.  The suggestion for a parent rota for cleaning once a week (perhaps on a once a term basis for parents) is still being explored, and we are open to suggestions.  
• Graham has put up towel hooks in the bathroom, and mended the play stands.  Many thanks to him.
