59 We *endorse* CJ's point 6. Managers will meet with CJ shortly to
60 begin this process. Forecasting is _always_ vulnerable to
61 unexpected events, but we can at least do better than the current
62 uniform division by 12 approach.
63
64 We are very grateful to CJ for his excellent report.

68 We have asbesto behind the cupboard. Demolition and refurbishment
69 survey? And then remediation. Recommendation is if building work
70 is planned then such a survey should be commissioned for the
71 relevant areas.
72
73 There is an earlier survey, but its scope and date is not
74 immediately available.
75
76 We *agreed* to revert to the companies we've asked to quote for a
77 clear statement of the scope of the investigation they've already
78 done, the scope of the work they have quoted for, and to _increase_
79 that scope to the whole of the Bow Room. Feed in to that any
80 information from the putative earlier survey, as a matter of
81 urgency. If this involves up-front expenditure up to £2,000 that is
82 *approved*.
83
84 As soon as the scope of the previous survey is clear we will need to
85 make the situation public, but for the time being we will keep the
86 news quiet.
87
88 For the time being we will stop letting the Bow Room, in
89 anticipation of refurbishment.
