A new notice board was also approved RF to find out costs
A replacement bench for Bills old one will be arranged BW to look at costs
There is a possibility of obtaining further funds from the Lilbourne Wind Farm with CPM getting around £1000 per year, CPM should receive around £2000 in back payments shortly.
It was agreed that we will have a village event in the summer and Gillian kindly offered the use of their house and grounds again, a further Marquee and Signage may be required.
