After thanking Peter for his talk, the Chair thanked all present for their attendance. He said how important their support was to the committee and without it we would not be able to continue.

Jim then congratulated Judy Irish on all her hard work for our busy and well received Web Site. Judy will be stepping down in December and will be sorely missed. We are now actively looking for a replacement.

Jim then wanted to thank Dr. Evans for all his passed assistance to the Association and to wish him a long and healthy retirement.

The Chair continued by saying that he had been in contact with the Fun Day Committee to congratulate them on their success and said rain or shine the Fun Day was always a great day out. He hoped that there could be closer contact between the two groups. Our aims are similar, to look after the Residents welfare and provide some entertainment.

Jim mentioned the Vestry problem and said he hoped that the village as a whole could help to keep this building active. It was good to see the attendance at the two recent open services. Jim thanked Angie for her hard work acting as a liaison between all the village groups and organising the services.

Jim stressed that it was important for the committee to keep moving forward and keep finding new projects. Many of our recent projects appear to be concluding so we are free to find new fields.

Jim thanked Justin at the Groes Inn for giving us a committee home, Shirley for all the hard work on the road and web site, Jeanie for the new flag and the committee as a whole.

After a round of applause the Chair asked for the meeting to continue.
