The committee received a presentation from the representatives of the event, and questions were responded to on a wide variety of issues including the donations the events subsequently makes, how the event designates sponsors and supporters, how many participants.

It was recognised that as a growing event, this has the potential to attract visitors to Morley for a short time and this would be a benefit to business and the community.

Members expressed a view that the event should retain sufficient funds to cover itself for a future event in the event of cancellation or other issue and should aim to be self-sustaining in future years.

Town Hall room hire was discussed and noted that as the town council was not the organiser it should not be held responsible in the event a room was booked in the Council’s name.

RESOLVED That the committee would pay the total cost of the traffic management ( TM ) at a cost of £2,710.00 exc VAT for the event, and would deal directly with the TM company and be invoiced as such To be taken from cost centre 4304 Community Grants
