| 25 | |
| 26 AM Treasurer has asked if we plan to change this. It's currently | |
| 27 £600. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 * Staff escalation route if they need backup | |
| 30 | |
| 31 The Minutes on this item from 2025-10-20 say: | |
| 32 | |
| 33 Trustees asked us: | |
| 34 | |
| 35 "we need ... an assurance from [MHMC] that staff have an | |
| 36 escalation route whenever they need backup. ... We are happy for | |
| 37 trustees to be on a reserve backup list in case no-one from MHMC | |
| 38 is available." | |
| 39 | |
| 40 All we have at the moment is an informal phone tree: MHM -MHMC via | |
| 41 HST -Trustees via Martin Ward | |
| 42 | |
| 43 What SCALP gave us was more in the direction of how to behave | |
| 44 towards the police in a less than full-cooperation way. But was not | |
| 45 really quite what we expected/hoped for for _building staff_. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 De-escalation training! RF to let us know more about this. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 * Policy/procedures for early booking arrivals | |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 What is the policy wrt Friends opening the front door when they are | |
| 53 in the Foyer, there are no staff present and someone knocks or | |
| 54 rings? | |
| 55 | |
| 56 This may arise if for example someone with a booking arrives more | |
| 57 than 15 minutes early, a tourist wants to ask questions or look for | |
| 58 Major Weir... | |
| 59 | |
| 60 This is clearly complicated, and begs the question of how a Friend | |
| 61 or Friends may come to be in the Foyer without staff. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 This interacts with the "be a welcoming place for SESAM" goal. | |
| 64 | |
| 65 * Sale of Alcohol | |
| 66 | |
| 67 It might be time to test this question with AM, against a background | |
| 68 of a shift in attitude towards the consumption of alcohol in | |
| 69 moderation, when the whole of 7VT is being let, and consumption is | |
| 70 part of having a drink with a show. | |
| 71 | |
| 72 * Convenor of MHMC | |
| 73 | |
| 74 HST leaves the Committee on 1 April... | |
| 75 | |
| 76 * Date of next meeting | |
