Conservation Society: The Conservation Society is in need of volunteers to keep it running. The current committee, not least Mervyn the Chairman, have worked ceaselessly for the good of the village for quite a while now and need to be able to hand over some of the more active tasks to new blood. If you are interested in the future of the village, please do consider standing for office. The more people who step forward, the less onerous the task will be, so please do think about this. Whatever, please come to the AGM on Friday 19th May at 7.30pm in the Village Hall to discuss the future of the Society.
