Booking There is an overlaid booking system Part one is the public view, the booking calendar is live on the Parish website and can be viewed at any time. Part two is a closed administrative system that produces invoices and reports – plus the statistics we have shared today Bookings can be made by e-mail, mail drop or in person
28
Income The Centres are managed to ensure that they are self sustaining – and features a Café that operates as a social hub and offer refreshment after mass, during the week and for meetings Refreshment, food and bar prices are kept low which means that costs are covered and income goes to a central fund to support activities All this contributes towards the annual £40,000 operational cost of the centres.
29
Facilities Efficient and cost effective maintenance regime. As with most Parish activities – we rely heavily on the efforts and hard work of volunteers who have selflessly and quietly fixed and mended when problems arise We have a system of recording of faults and concerns and note the repairs effected to enable a planned maintenance and renewals scheme.
30
Website Richard Franklin has added a maintenance page to the website and this gives contact details and allows for on line reporting of Faults and Concerns Everyone is encouraged to use this to assist in building a more complete picture and help plan for future projects
