3. Summary of year to 31st December 2006

TC reported that the previous year had been a good one.

There had been a new window in the Parish room in addition to the redecoration and the formation of a health and safety subgroup.

TC reflected on his time in office, beginning in 1991 as a committee member and as chair from 1996. In response to a plea for help the committee numbers increased and TC found it easier to carry on with support from PB and LF.

* PH and DH had done a great job driving the redecoration programme forward.

* PB revitalized the 200 club which is now known as the supporters club.

* PB has put the accounts into order

* New tables have been bought for the village.

* LF obtained a grant which enabled new chairs to be bought.

* The jumble sale takings are up from £500 each when TC began to over £1000 now. The fete used to raise £1000 and now makes £4000.

* Future plans are to replace windows, implement health and safety report and complete the redecoration.

TC thanked all committee members for their help and all others behind the scenes.
