An interesting item began to appear in the minutes called 'Free fifths' in which the Council appeared to be allowed to give money to suitable causes. Those shown have been:
- £5 to Jack Pateman in appreciation of the conscientious way he carried out his duties as lengths man (3.2.69)
- £5 to Mrs K Clare to defray expenses of a village supper and social evening she was organising (3.2.69)
- £15 to the school for the children who had lost their savings stamps due to theft (28.1.70)
- £13.50 (the first entry in decimal currency in the minute book) to be used to add to the presentation from the village to Jack Pateman (see item above) (8.2.71)
- £25.00 to St Lauds Floodlighting Fund (3.1.72)
- £50.00 to Village Hall Committee (28.3.74)
