APPROX 48 IN ATTENDANCE – A GOOD NUMBER CONSIDERING MANY RESIDENTS ARE ON HOLIDAY. PETER (LANDLORD OF THE BOLD) INFORMED MEMBERS THAT THE BOLD WAS ONE OF THREE VILLAGE PUBS WHO HAD REACHED THE FINALS OF THE “VILLAGE PUB OF THE YEAR” – SOMETHING TO BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF. WE ALL WISH PETER & JULIE EVERY SUCCESS AND HOPE THEY ARE THE WINNERS THIS YEAR. WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OCTOBER AT THE PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS EVENING.

LIZ GAUSDEN WELCOMED SPEAKER  BEV HAYNES OF “ABINGTON & AROUND”  AS WELL AS MANY OTHER PUBLICATIONS FOR VARIOUS AREAS WITHIN THE LOCALITY (SOMETHING MANY MEMBERS WERE UNAWARE OF). 

AS EVER OUR THANKS GO TO PETER & JULIE WHO PROVIDED ON-GOING REFRESHMENTS AND DELICIOUS BISCUITS (ALL FOR £2 PER HEAD). 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST COUNCILLOR STEPHEN LEGG GAVE UP HIS FREE TIME TO BE PRESENT, TO ENABLE MEMBERS TO HAVE A CHAT IF THEY SO WISHED. OUR THANKS GO TO STEPHEN FOR HIS CONTINUED SUPPORT.
