11. Village Fete 2005 The Fete Committee has asked us to organise a quiz. There was much discussion as to the form that the quiz should take and whether or not it should be Fete or village orientated or even to have a wider base. Mark is to obtain more information from the Fete Committee. A theme for our stall at the Fete this year, was discussed. Mark suggested Family History using some village families as examples. It was noted that permission would have to be obtained from those concerned. NA is to try and "mock up" some trees and photos.
12. TV We now have been given a TV and video to be shared with the Clock Club. Albeit not in the first bloom of youth, but quite serviceable.
