There are two meetings coming up which could be quite important to this part of the town.  The first is on the 10th January which is the Council Executive at a 6PM start at Grafton House on Grafton Way.  They should be discussing their plans to put voluntary groups out of business.

There is also a meeting of the South West Area Committee – Labour’s attempt to neuter local involvement (as if they weren’t neutered enough).  This will be meeting at 12th January at the work unfriendly time 5.30 at Grafton House.  Apologies for the work unfriendly time but they are holding all four committee meetings in two evenings, to get the unpleasant business of local representation over with as soon as possible.

They need items for the stalls and tombola. These include cakes, Jams, Bric-a-Brac, Plants,Books, CDs, DVDs, Toys, Puzzles, Games. Items for the stalls may be left at St Mark‟s church. If you would like items collected or if you would like to help for a few hours, please contact Mrs Anne Smitheram (01206 323886).

No used clothing. Also, due to pointless European Union rules they cannot accept any electrical items.

You can find a map here.

Tickets are £10, and to get them either on 01473-691347 or by emailing stephenmlark@talktalk.net.  You will need to do this by Friday 18 November.
