refurbishment of the Georgian building, required on a long cycle, including the urgent overhaul of the roof. The Hall Committee has decided to launch an appeal for £15,000, as a first step in refurbishment, after repeated failures to secure Lottery funding. Donations and ideas for fund raising are most welcome, gratefully received by the treasurer Jim Booty.
The next major event is the Village "Open Weekend" on July 12 - 13. Several gardens will open, refreshments available, and various stalls will be run. Please let us know if YOU can help.

The Education Foundation Trust deed is being modernised. The School parish project on the Church has been marked. The proposed new skate park will not need extra insurance, provided it is built properly, regularly inspected and fenced.
