PR08.00 CORN EXCHANGE WORKS Consideration was given to ratifying retrospective expenditure of £16,293 (increased from £15,168 as stated in the report) for works carried out to the Corn Exchange. Following circulation of the report, the Amenities Manager advised that invoices had been received for the cracked guttering at £79 (ie an extra £44) and the flooring at £4870 (ie an extra £1081) bringing the works requiring ratification to £16,293 and not £15,168. An explanation was given regarding the length of time taken to complete the rear lift works. RESOLVED: PR08.01 that the report be received and noted. PR08.02 that the decision to expend £16,293 (inceased from £15,168 as stated in the report) for works to the Corn Exchange be ratified retrospectively.
PR09.00 CORN EXCHANGE FRONT DOORS Members received a report detailing options for work to the Corn Exchange front doors.
Discussion took place about exceeding budget for cosmetic work and the history of the
acquisition of the doors. It was agreed that no action be taken at the current time as the current condition is considered to be satisfactory.
The recommendation is that in next years' budget an allowance is made to rub down and re-varnish and not restore to original condition. RESOLVED: PR09.01 that the report be received and noted PR09.02 that £340 be put into the 2019/20 budget to rub down and re-varnish the doors
PR10.00 CORN EXCHANGE KITCHEN COOLING/VENTILATION IMPROVEMENTS Members were in receipt of report providing costings for cooling/ventilation improvements to the Corn Exchange kitchen. Although the existing cooling and ventilation system is in full working order, those using it consider it delivers an unsatisfactory result as the ceiling grilles make food on the preparation area cold. The report stated the importance of the Town Council being robust in only undertaking those matters for which it has clear responsibility. During discussion, although not forming a part of the report, concern was expressed at possible
safety issues arising from the vents being in close proximity to the gas burners and it was considered that this should be checked.
Members also noted that an electric heater had been installed and its operation was discussed. It was felt tht it was not always being used correctly and this was a training issue for Corn Exchange staff to address.
During discussions, it was also felt tht more detail on options available and costings for cooling/ventilation might be beneficial. RESOLVED: PR10.01 that the report be received and noted

PR10.02 that no action be taken regarding expenditure at the present time due to budget constraints but that a meeting be arranged between the CIC and the Town Hall to determine the extent of the Council's obligations as a landlord for ventilation in the kitchen and any future action in this regard.
PR11.00 CORN EXCHANGE BUDGET IMPLICATIONS Members were in receipt of a report advising of an overspend on the Corn Exchange repairs and
renewals budget and consideration was given to the viring of funds to cover the projected overspend.
RESOLVED: PR11.01 that the report be received and noted PR11.02 that a virement of £5127 be made from the long term capital repairs and renewals budget, currently standing at £20,479, increasing the repairs and renewals budget from £12,873 to £18,000 to cover the overspend of £3,420 and provide a contingency sum of £1,701 for the remainder of the financial year

Subject: Improving the acoustics of the Charter Hall
Dear Alison
Further to my letter to you dated 31st August 2018 and as we discussed by ‘phone in week commencing 17th September I can now send to you three additional documents which we would ask you to make available for the Property Committee to consider at its meeting on 24th October 2018:
Report 15644.RT.01 prepared on 17 May 2017 of the “Room Acoustics Investigation” by KP Acoustics Ltd ( KPAL )
An email dated 22 June 2017 from KPAL to Dan Rowe, my immediate predecessor as Corn Exchange CIC chairman, containing additional information.
A provisional Method Statement and Risk Assessment provided to us by potential supplier/installer Silent Treatment Soundproofing Ltd. ( STSL )
Please note that the most important advice provided to us by KPAL in their original report and in this extra analysis and also provided to us by potential supplier/installer Silent Treatment Soundproofing Ltd. ( STSL ) is that the main acoustic problem in the Hall is the main ceiling, and further that optimal reduction of the reverberation time in the Hall and therefore the optimal level of acoustic improvement are to be achieved by fitting panels only to the main ceiling and to the soffit beneath the rear balcony, so excluding at this point the fitting of panels to the side walls of the balcony.

Tel: 01480 496454 Email: [email protected] Website: www.thecornexchange.org.uk
St.Ives Corn Exchange CIC is a Community Interest Company controlled by St Ives Town Council Patrons: Michael Purchase Mick George
This conclusion was reached because of industry sector findings that a marginally excessive of amount of treatment can be as much the reason for not achieving optimal improvement as too little treatment. If, as a result of post-installation testing, it is found that a marginally additional degree of improvement is desirable, we could then consider the fitting of additional panels to the side walls of the balcony.
We would like in this letter also to raise with you the questions of whether a Listed Building Consent for the proposed fitting of acoustic panels by adhesive means might be needed, and whether this subject may be raised by Councillors at the meeting of the Property Committee on 24th October.
Our own view is that a Listed Building Consent ought not to be necessary because the key considerations, as given on the website of the Planning Authority Huntingdonshire District Council ( HDC ), namely altering or extending a listed building, are not involved here. Moreover, the proposed panels would be fitted to the new ceiling and soffit areas that were installed during the 2010 Renovation Project.
May we respectfully ask you to consider having appropriate conversations with Planning and Conservation Officers at HDC in advance of the Property Committee on 24th October ?
Please confirm that you have received this letter and the three enclosures and please tell me if there is any further information you require.
Kind regards
Yours sincerely

Room Acoustics Investigation
1. INTRODUCTION
KP Acoustics has been commissioned by St Ives Corn Exchange CIC, Market Hill, St Ives,
Cambridgeshire, PE27 5, to undertake an investigation of the reverberation pattern within the
multi-purpose hall at the aforementioned address.
The main objective of this exercise is the investigation of the existing reverberant field of the hall,
and the provision of a functional solution towards a uniform reduction of any potential excess
reverberation based on the use of the space.
2. EXISTING ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT
The space under investigation currently entails brick walls, plastered and rendered, parquet floor
tiles, and a curved plasterboard ceiling. The hall is a two-storey space with an internal mezzanine
balcony overlooking the main Ground Floor space. A glazed balustrade system is present at the
inner perimeter of the balcony. The main entrance doorset is on the south West Elevation. There
are existing acoustic panels fixed on the walls of the Ground Floor area.
Indicative pictures can be seen in 15644.SP1 and 15644.SP2
3. PROJECT CRITERIA
The assessed multi-purpose hall space is part of The Corn Exchange local community centre. The
activities taking place in the hall range from indoor market, youth theatre, exercise and dancing
classes to craft exhibitions, business conferences, live music or just local residents meetings.
Although the community centre is not categorized a school building, it holds activities with similar
acoustic requirements to educational spaces. Therefore, the reverberation time criteria would be
based on Building Bulletin 93: Specification of Acoustic Performance for reverberation within
schools and teaching spaces. Building Bulletin 93 states the following:
“The objective is to provide suitable reverberation times for (a) clear communication of speech
between teacher and student, and between students, in teaching and study spaces and (b) music
teaching and performance. Table 1.5 contains the required mid frequency reverberation times for
rooms which are finished but unoccupied and unfurnished. The reverberation time is quoted in
terms of Tmf , the arithmetic average of the reverberation times in the 500 Hz, 1 kHz and 2 kHz
octave bands.”

Room Acoustics Investigation
Table 1.1, shown below, encompasses the above requirements, as per Building Bulletin 93:
Type of Room Tmf (Seconds)
Lecture Rooms
Small (Fewer than 50 people)
Large (More than 50 people)
< 0.8s
< 1.0s
Assembly halls, multi-purpose halls
(audio/visual presentations), occasional
music
0.8 - 1.2s
Table 1.1 Performance standards for reverberation
Based on the above criteria, we would expect the reverberation time within The Great Hall to be in
the region of 0.8-1.0 second as an arithmetic average of the reverberation times in the 500Hz,
1kHz, and 2kHz octave bands.
4. METHODOLOGY
Reverberation time measurements were undertaken following the procedure described below in
order to assess the existing reverberation time within the space.
“Pink noise” was generated and stopped instantaneously in order to measure the reverberation
time in each of the octave bands between 63Hz and 8kHz. The internal programme of the meter
was used to measure the decay time of the sound in each room. This was repeated 40 times within
the space in order to obtain an average spatial result.
The instrumentation used is shown in Table 4.1 below.

5. RESULTS
After analysing the Reverberation Time (RT) measurements, it was possible to derive an average RT
pattern within the space. This is shown in Figure 5.1.

Room Acoustics Investigation
Figure 5.1 Average Reverberation Time of the multi-purpose hall at The Corn Exchange
After analysing the results, it is apparent that excess reverberation is present throughout most of
the frequency range, and more specifically between the 5kHz to 2kHz range. This would correspond
with the range of human speech, which ranges from around 300Hz-3kHz, and is therefore the most
important frequency band to consider for speech intelligibility within a multi-purpose/lecturer hall
environment.
6. UPGRADE PROPOSALS
In order to achieve the target reverberation time range of 0.8 - 1.0 seconds, approximately 130m2
of absorptive treatment would need to be installed and evenly distributed within the hall space.
Although this could be achieved, it would need to involve a system of carefully positioned panels
suspended from the ceiling, as well as a partial coverage of the surrounding walls.
Due to the current highly reverberant field, we would recommend that panels providing a high
absorption coefficient are incorporated in the design, and installed directly onto the existing
surfaces. We would recommend the following panels as suitable in terms of the absorption they
offer:
• GIK Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel
• GIK Acoustics ALPHA 6A Panels
The panel specifications are shown in the attached manufacturer’s datasheet. Recommended
placement of the selected panels on all elevations and ceiling is shown in drawings 15644.SP1-2
attached.

Room Acoustics Investigation
Walls acoustic upgrade
It is understood that the Ground Floor space is the main audience area while the mezzanine
balcony would not be regularly used. For this reason, we would propose to cover 20 m2 wall area
with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel. This would entail 28 of the aforementioned
panels that could be evenly distributed as follows:
• 10 panels on each side wall
• 4 panels on each end wall
Another 10 m2 wall area should be covered with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 6A Alpha panels to
control the low frequency range and scatter the sound throughout the main Ground Floor space.
This would entail 14 of the aforementioned panels that could be evenly distributed as follows:
• 5 panels on each side wall
• 2 panels on each end wall
Ceiling acoustic upgrade
In order to control the reflection from the 6m high curved ceiling, we would recommend absorptive
panels suspended independently from the main soffit. With a total ceiling area of approximately
225m2, we would recommend that approximately 100m2 of the ceiling is covered with GIK
Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel. Although the largest standard size of the panels is approximately
600mm x 1200mm, we would recommend bespoke larger size panels suspended at varying heights
and could be of varying sizes, but we would recommend that panels are between 1-2m2.
It is also recommended that at least 40% of the ceiling area below the main mezzanine floor is
covered with GIK Acoustics 242 Ceiling Cloud Panels.
Should the above proposals not be deemed acceptable, we would request further consultation with
the Client in order to reach a compromise between cost, performance and the practical installation
of absorptive panels within the space.
7. CONCLUSION
A room acoustics investigation has been undertaken within the multi-purpose hall at St. Ives Corn
Exchange CIC, Market Hill, St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

Room Acoustics Investigation
It has been verified that excess reverberation time is an issue within the hall space. The whole
exercise has been approached by recommendations for wall and ceiling acoustic treatment in order
to ascertain a satisfactory reverberation time which would not exacerbate speech intelligibility.

As dictated by our risk assessments this is a list of the PPE that will be worn depending upon the task being undertaken:-
Safety helmets to EN397 if required Safety footwear to EN345 at all times High Visibility Vests EN471 & Gloves EN420 at all times As Site rules gloves to be worn at all times if required
Accident Reporting: All accidents/incidents or dangerous occurrences will be reported to the OEG management if required.
Housekeeping: Prior to starting work in a new area, we would like the area to be as clear as possible. Good housekeeping will be maintained throughout the project by keeping the rears clean as works progress, as far as is reasonably practicable, so that slips and trips are reduced.
Waste material and packaging will be removed from site by Silent Treatment.
Environmental Waste will be kept to a minimum so that material usage is reduced and reused, so that waste sent to landfill is also reduced.
The works carried out at this site will comply with the current UK guidelines on waste management and disposal.
Risk/COSHH Assessments: Please see the following/attached.
Manual Handling Procedure: Manual handling injuries are caused by more than just lifting. Manual handling involves any activity requiring the use of force exerted by a person to lift, lower, push, pull carry or otherwise move, something.
24
Silent Treatment recognise that manual handling during soundproofing and acoustic works is particularly prevalent and any risk will be managed. We shall provide all employees with suitable and sufficient information and training to ensure they understand the potential risks and practical ways to minimise them. Formal training will be given, supplemented by regular toolbox talks and industry specific guidance/leaflets.
Areas identified which require assessment for manual handling include: Lifting and carrying large, unwieldy items (1200x1000x50mm panels). Order manageable sized items; Reduce the time required to manually handle items; Carry only small amounts within your capability; Ensure safe handling techniques are used.
Repetitive movements during works: Take regular breaks or change work activity; Use the correct tools and do not exert excessive grip; Use the correct techniques when bending and/reaching.
The Site Supervisor is responsible for ensuring manual handling assessments are undertaken’ however, this may be through delegation to another competent member of personnel.
As a company we shall also carry out routine inspections of the working area and also working techniques (this may be informally by the Supervisor or formally by the visiting safety representative/adviser).
Ensure materials are lifted correctly with the back straight and using the legs to raise yourself if the load is low. Use a good grip with feet, hip width apart and one foot slightly in front of the other.
Avoid twisting, stooping or reaching to lift or deposit the load. Ensure that access areas are clean and clear and that the lighting is adequate. Wear gloves and safety footwear.
Protect sharp edges. Avoid long lift and if necessary change grip when the load is at waist height. Keep the load close to your body. During repetitive work allow sufficient time for resting.
If more than one person is involved then a suitable person must be nominated to control the job. If possible, break down the load into smaller and secure items, which are loose to prevent the load shifting when being carried.
If you need assistance, please ask. Do not attempt to lift or carry any item which you feel is beyond your physical capabilities or may cause you injury.
If you have any concerns or suggestions on how to improve this procedure, please contact your Supervisor, safety representative or any other senior member of staff.

Dear Daniel,Further to my last email, I have prepare the following extra analysis for you.
1. Wall treatment evenly distributed:
• 20 m2 wall area covered with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel• 10 m2 wall area covered with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 6A Alpha panels to control the low frequency rang
2. Ceiling Treatment evenly distributed:
• 100 m2 ceiling area covered with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel
3. Observation:
• The proposed treatment of the walls are required to controlled the early reflections and stationary waves between the parallel walls of the hall• The proposed ceiling treatment would reduce most of the reverberation time in the room• The glazed balustrade wouldnot have a significant roll in the reverberation timein the room.• I have included an alternative which would entail a larger wall treatment but no ceiling treatment. The treatment would be as follows:
- 50 m2 wall area covered with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 242 Acoustic Panel - 20 m2 wall area covered with 600x1200mm GIK Acoustics 6A Alpha panels to control the low frequency rang
Although the desired 0.9 secoonds reverberation time would not be achieved, the expected 1.2 seconds would still be good for a multipurpose hall while avoids the inconvenience of the panels installation on a high ceiling. I would therefore advocate for the new option.
I trust this additional information will help.

10th October 2018
Subject: Installing an automated film screen in the Charter Hall
Dear Alison
I am writing to you on behalf of the Board of Directors of the St Ives Corn Exchange Community Interest Company (the CIC). In summary, with this letter the CIC is applying in accordance with “Alterations” Clause 24 of the Lease dated 20th April 2011 for the consent of St Ives Town Council (SITC) to install an automated drop-down film screen to the balcony above the kitchen servery at the front of the Charter Hall.
We believe that we have achieved an aesthetically pleasing proposal which makes use of the existing balcony lighting rail and because the screen and its housing when the screen is not in use will be as inobtrusive as possible, being level with the top balcony rail.
You and I have already discussed this subject by telephone when you informed me that you would be putting our application for consent before the Meeting of the Council’s Property Committee on Wednesday 24th October.
This is one of three current CIC projects to achieve significant improvements to the facilities and characteristics of the Charter Hall. Another application is already before the Town Council to improve the acoustics in the Hall by fitting adhesive acoustic panels to the main ceiling and the rear soffit areas above and between the two rear bars/serveries. Our third project is to improve the lighting and sound equipment for functions and performances of various kinds and to purchase new, lighter and easier-to-assemble modular staging.
Funding by way of an external grant and a donation has already been secured for the acoustic and film screen projects; the CIC is hopeful that the external funding of the third of our projects will also be possible.

St.Ives Corn Exchange CIC is a Community Interest Company controlled by St Ives Town Council Patrons: Michael Purchase Mick George
The CIC’s project to provide an automated film screen in the Charter Hall has comprised three elements, as follows:
Establishing the need for the improvements
Currently, films and TV live broadcasts are shown in the Charter Hall using a large separate folded-up screen and a heavy portable stand which when assembled stands on staging assembled for that purpose, - all together a laborious and time-consuming task.
From Screen St Ives (SSI), the sub-group of ACE Friends of the Corn Exchange, who show films twice per month and also run film education classes, and from numerous previous bookings and enquiries the CIC knows that there is considerable demand for a high-quality film showing capability in the Charter Hall.
Our bookings and enquiries have come from community and commercial organizations for regular and seasonal film showings, live TV broadcasts, wedding receptions and other family celebrations & parties, education & training and conferences & lectures. The choice of screen The Committee members of SSI have assisted the CIC in the choice of the screen:
https://www.screenint.com/all-products/pro-c-tensioned/
The screen is manufactured in Udine, Italy by Screen International. It is 6.5 metres wide, the screen fabric will be the highest quality High Definition specification, and will be operated by remote control. Simon Hepher of Hephers Electrical, a long-time sponsor of the Corn Exchange, is assisting us with the purchase and import arrangements. Structural and Engineering Design Advice Stephen Johnson, the Town Council’s Structural Engineer for the renovation of the Corn Exchange in 2009/10 has provided us with advice about the physical structure and load-bearing characteristics of the balcony, the lighting rail, the fixtures attaching the lighting rail to the balcony and the sockets that were incorporated in the lighting rail to hold upright bars for additional performance lighting equipment. We have been greatly assisted pro bono by Mr Dennis O’Carroll, proprietor of St Ives Company Abbotsbury Engineering Ltd. His assistance has included liaison by telephone and email with Stephen Johnson, concerning the overall structural and design parameters for supporting and installing the screen, comprising the specification of purpose-manufactured bars which will be fixed into the existing lighting bar sockets, and which will connect to three adaptor plates, also specified by Dennis O’Carroll, to which the screen brackets will be bolted.

Dennis O’Carroll has already arranged for the manufacture of the bars and adaptor plates which can be undertaken at short notice if the project is consented to. We have included below a photo of one of the three existing bracket and socket units along the front balcony, and two views of the proposed installation bars and adaptor plates:
Please note that in the course of the project it was agreed that we should purchase a 6.5 metre wide screen rather than the initial idea of a 6.0 metre wide screen. This change necessitated a change of design and specification of the adapter plate for the central fixing to accommodate the additional 4th screen bracket for the larger screen. Please see the attached drawing by Abbotsbury Engineering Ltd.

We are attaching copies of two email documents which set out the discussions and agreements between Stephen Johnson and Dennis O’Carroll, culminating in the final email from Stephen Johnson to Dennis O’Carroll and myself on 5th September which gives approval to the proposed installation.
You will see that in his email of 5th September, Dennis O’Carroll suggested that additional loads should not be placed on the lighting bar at the front of the hall once the screen is in place. In the past, no equipment has needed to be fitted to this section of the lighting bar, and I confirm that the CIC will not permit any equipment to be fitted in future.
If we receive the Town Council’s consent we will be assisted in the installation of the screen by Mr Hepher and Mr O’Carroll. We hope that consent can be achieved at the Meeting of the Property Committee on 24th October, and that the Risk Assessment and Method Statement for the installation can be considered and hopefully approved separate from the meetings of the Committee.
In this same vein, may we respectfully ask you to forward this letter and enclosures to the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Committee to assist you with any questions the Council may have and which we could answer in advance of the meeting on 24th October.
Please can you confirm to me that you have received this letter.
Kind regards

The loads are shown in the attached drawing ie 124Kg along with bolt positions of existing brackets and the attachment points to the screen unit.
It would be worth showing this to Film Club guys, and I am happy to discuss further if required.I am happy with the brackets and the loads
If the film club are ok with he bracket spacings I will get on with making the parts.
It may be conditional that the lighting bar that connects the existing brackets together is not loaded with anything else once the screen is mounted.
Maybe Stephen could comment on a maximum safe load for the whole bar - or just take it out of use altogether.

Hi StephenI visited the Corn Exchange this morning.Closer inspection of the lighting bracket fixing, shows metal packing directly behind face plate projects through the wooden facing, as shown in the attached photo. The photo also shows the markings on the bolts. The M12 nuts can be seen against the inside face of the beam and this is shown near the end of the attached video.These pictures are of the centre bracket position.I double checked all three positions using my lever test and all three appear to be very secure.Is this enough to go ahead on?

Carla , Non e una problema , mi sono divertito in particolare vedere il Corn Exchange affollato con la gente di St Ives . Carla I started my draft raising the questions and subsequently added the answers in brackets .
I checked the the design live load on the gallery it amounts to 5 kn/m2 i.e. 5 Kilonewtons per square metre or 500 Kg per square metre .I will calculate a weight for 80 people as Ian quoted and calculate an actual weight per unit area spread on the gallery .(80 people is about half of the theoretical static load possible ,however accepted wisdom is that with crowd movement the dynamic effect doubles the static load . Thus Ian's 80 limit is about right .)
Regarding the support of the screen based on a weight in the order of 100-125 kg I can confirm that this weight can be supported from the existing structure .
This gives you the opportunity to use the larger screen should you ultimately decide to adopt that.
The manufacturers data you sent gives details of support clips which attach to the top surface of the screen box.
I can see no reason why these cannot be adapted the fit into the tubular brackets already insitu .(see my sketch attached the idea can be adapted to vary the height at which you position the screen .If the use of three top brackets is sufficient to support the screen we can utilise the three existing tubular brackets that we examined on Monday .Which would be ideal .)
Also I think it should be feasible to support even the larger screen from the existing brackets.In this respect I very happy to have a conversation with the manufacturers technical personnel if that will assist .(We need to check with tech people that three brackets will suffice and that they can be positioned to suit the tubular brackets in situ .)
Finally I received data requested regarding acoustic ceiling panels this morning .I confirm the weight of the panels is minimal and should therefore not present any difficulty if they adhere directly to the ceiling .
I hope this is all clear and assists you to progress matters .

Do let met know if you have any issues with the files that Rob send you a link to or if you need anything else.
I thought it worthwhile to send you the screen details again, just in case (see attachment).
I look forward to your design details for the bracket. I also wanted to mention that we would be happy to pay for your time, as we have taken up quite a lot of it.
