Annual Parish Meeting

The Parish Meeting is usually held in April at the Village Hall. Dates are published nearer the time.

It is hoped that the residents will find it interesting with an exhibition of many of the clubs and organisations in the village taking part plus a chance for you to come forward with ideas for the future of the village.
