Renewal of the Club Lease from 1st April 2025 will require rectification of the situation on the land, fully to their satisfaction. Additionally, Peter Jennings is in contact with the Club captain who has advised that the County Council has approved the rectification plan although there is a debate on the route into the field that the trucks and equipment will take. Either via the B482 or via the gate by the Village Hall. The B482 route has been requested.Brian advises that until the Diocese approves the plan and there is an agreed Timetable we should assume nothing will happen quickly. We thank Brian and Peter for their continuing work to get the remediation done.Future Events Tues 4th Feb Coffee & Chat + Bring and Buy 10.30am to noon in the Village HallThe Moth Hour – two short talks on live issues with interval and light refreshments in the Village Hall.
