… would you have half an hour to spare? We appreciate everyone leads busy lives. And that family time is sacred. But it is the Village Hall AGM, and it would be super to see a good turn out. What’s in it for you? Well there will be home baking on offer. But more seriously, the Hall plays an important role in this community. So many people attend the events that it hosts, and use it as a venue for their own get-togethers. Why not join the management committee and trustees to review the last year, and to add your own thoughts on the strategy going forward? We promise we’ll keep it brief and interactive. If you do have something to say, but can’t make it, drop us a line here. That’s not an open invitation to skip the meeting though – we’ll be checking the validity of your excuse!

Neighbourhood Watch Meeting on Thursday
Meeting in the Village Hall Thursday 9th January 7.15 for 7.30 start
Good Morning All,
Just a wee reminder that we will be having a short meeting with our local community police officers on Thursday this week, please try and come along if possible.
Two other items to report:
Our Neighbourhood Watch signs are on order, unfortunately there is a delay with the manufacture of the signs and they will not be installed till February. The other item to report was that we organised a speed check on Saturday in the Village with the Police no offences were detected.
At our meeting we will have PC Lynn Black and her colleague PC Kelly Brown to advise us in what we all can do to help minimise crime in our Village.
Regards,
Phillip
