The Hampton Hall is presently used by the Town for the Public Works and Planning Departments and as wel for use by thec communi- ty throuigh the Board of Management. The Hampton Hall Board suggests that the Town of Newcastle proceed with renovations to the existing Town Hall in Bowmanville and as well provide new acja cent facilit.ies for the Public Works and Planning Depart- ments. Such a move by the Town through the relocation of the two departments out of the Hampton Hall would provude a comnmunity hall for the hamleýt of Hampton. The Hampton Board sug- gests future use of the hall could include a Senior Citizens Drop-In Cientre, be avai!able for dances, recep- tions, meetings, card parties and irtdoor shuffle board. The grounds could be used for tennis courts stated the brief. As well the board is asking that the Town provide a new roof for the building, new wasnroois, niew furnace as ~well as upgrading of the elec- trical system, double-glazed windows and stairway repairs. It was pointed out at the meeting t hat there was a need for upgrading of washroom facilities as now a iquor licence was only possible for a total of forty people. Council members have called for a report from staff with conside-ration being given to the use of funding frm the incentive monies niow being- provided by-tbe province for project on Town property. Coune. IHamre said she kunew the board had been str-ugglin-g and was suippor- tîngý the board in their efforts. She pointed out that counicil -would be looking at heavy ex- penditures to update the building and the an.swers were not available at the meeinrg. She said she called for the report to have the cost figures available before mnak- ing a decision. Mayor Rickard asked that conisideration be given by staff to the use of the incen- tive fuinds now being sought fromi the Province. Coundil members were in- formed 'that the Hall Board was losing rentai monies because of thec inadequacy of the faciIities. Consider annual craft-art sales Monday evening a small group of local artists andi craft persons considered future craft anti art displays anti sales which could be held in the Village of Orono. The meeting was instituteti by the Orono Downtown Businessmen' s Association in an effort to establish some continuity in such events which havé been helti in Orono over the past year and a half. The group considereti it feasible andi desirable to pro- mote an art anti craft event in the Town Hall, Orono on a regular annual basis. With this in, mind there woulti be a tiisplay andi sale in the spring possibly tieing in with a blossomn tour. The group are to further investigate an art display andi sale along with crafts for a two week perod in the latter part of August taking in four days a week including Sun- days. The Christmas sale was also set to be held in mid November rathier than in the first part of Decemnber. As to the two week August show and sale contact is to be made in the next few, days of interested artists and craft persons to see if enough in- terest and material would be available to promote such a venture aw this time of year. If the interest is present the pro- motion coulti well take place this August in the Orono Town Hall.

Iii the meanttim1e public opinion sceems to be that the Board should comnplete thec proJect as siarted and that the posts be loweýýredt and a rail assemnbled. If nothing else the project stirred up considerable comment but at the present time it is at a dead hait going neither aheati or back.
