Hall Boundary Line – AS has emailed Planning and Conservation but neither have responded.
Leyhill – they are booked for Easter holidays (6-17 April). We need to let Hall Users know that the Hall will be unavailable during this period. WI have meeting scheduled for Tuesday 7 April. AS to arrange for Hall area to be left till the Wednesday. Work can be started upstairs first. AS to arrange for a “tower” to be available. Colour scheme to be similar to existing one, but doors will be brown. NF/AS to advise MB of paint quantities so he can approach B&Q for a donation.
Energy Group – nothing to report.
Bonfire Night – Andy Musty (Parish Council) is keen to organise a Bonfire Night/Fireworks Display on 5 November. He has volunteers to help. NF offered to liaise with him on our behalf.
