In response to concerns raised about the closure of the ice-rink to enable repairs (minute APBO66(iii)), the Committee noted that the ice rink would be closed during low season.

In relation to minute APBO66, resolution iii, the Committee highlighted that charging for use of the Palace car-parks might have an adverse effect on surrounding roads.  Mr Andrew Gill, Interim General Manager – Alexandra Palace, advised that a scoping paper had been considered by the Board on 12^th January 2010 detailing potential options for increasing income at the Palace.  The report included potentially charging for the use of car parks but the Advisory Committee would be consulted before any final decisions were made.

RESOLVED that the board minutes of the meeting held on 24^th November be noted.

            iv.        12^th January 2010

The minutes of the meeting held on 12^th January were not available and would be considered at the next meeting of the Advisory Committee.
