the front of the building and re-slabbing the whole of the front forecourt .
We will get three quotes and decide then who is the cheapest and the quickest..

organising this. Jenny is helping. Kay and Chris have volunteered to make cakes.
Quiz Nights As Anne and Brian are no longer wanting to do these, it has been
suggested that the village hall take them over. They will be on the 3rd Sunday of
each month. We have agreed to do this and will keep to Sunday Night’s. The first
two will be on Sunday 16th November & Sunday 21st December. We decided that
profits from the raffle will mostly go to the village hall as we are a charity but
would be open to suggestions from anyone trying to raise money in the village
for a worthwhile cause.

to help. Robert has suggested that we have a sub committee for these. Will ask
Jackie about newspapers.
