Clerk’s Column May 2007
Election Time. Parish Council. Since the media kept banging on about them presumably everyone knew that there were elections all over the place on May 3rd; and as no-one in the village lives very far from a notice-board, it is hoped that most of us were aware that these included elections to Parish Councils.

WI Newsletter – May 2007
At our May meeting, members were once again reminded why their diaries are so full at the moment (all to be revealed in our June newsletter) and given up-to-date information on all that is happening.

Most of this month was spent concentrating on our tremendously successful Pancake Morning held on Shrove Tuesday.

Clerk’s Column January 2007
Parish Power “What does the Parish Council do?” is an oddly difficult question to answer, because strictly in terms of direct action the reply is “Not a lot.” It is easier to answer by indicating what it would be like if the Council did not exist. So, a recent small drama, though not part of …
